There is always a debate on if reaching 10000 steps a day is the magic number for weightloss or do you need more. If anything, use the 10000 steps as a goal to reach. It’s more about just being active. If you are reaching 10000 a day without working out, then bump your goal up a bit. Maybe another 5000 to your daily step goal. Being active doesn’t necessarily mean a scheduled workout. Cleaning up the house, walking the dog, or even grocery shopping is being active. FYI…Pushing a shopping with both hands on the cart will not count your steps for some reason. Stand to the side and hold the cart with one hand and pull it through the store.
