Many people who want to stay healthy use pedometers to record how many steps they have taken, but this device will not provide any information about intensity. In other words, they don't know whether the heart rate is high enough to improve their physical fitness. In this new study, the researchers found that the average person should take at least 100 steps to reach the level of moderate intensity. Experts advise adults to do at least moderate activities at a time, five times a week. If you do it at once, it means that there are at least 0 steps at a time. But the researchers pointed out in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine that they had to make several short-term plans during the day.

Dr Simon J. Marshall of San Diego State University, who is in charge of the research, said at a news conference: "Because continuous exercise is at least good for health, a good starting point is to take 1000 steps inward, and then take 0 steps inward." He pointed out that a simple pedometer and a watch can provide a way for pedestrians to ensure that the exercise is strong enough.

These findings are based on 97 healthy adults with an average age of 32. Generally speaking, men need to take 92 to 102 steps to get moderate-intensity exercise for their hearts. On average, women need to walk 9 1 step to 1 15 step per minute. Marshall said: "We think these data support the general suggestion that you should take at least 100 steps on the flat ground to reach the minimum level of the medium-intensity guide."
