Setting your unique step goal

Everyone's activity needs are different depending on their fitness goals. On average, inactive people will take about 5,000 steps per day, active people between 7,500 and 10,000 steps and very active people over 12,500 steps per day.

Determine your fitness goals:

• Track how many steps you naturally achieve per day using a fitness tracker, then increase your daily steps goal using a realistic timeline.
• Listen to your body. Doing too much too soon can leave you sore, overly tired, or injured.
