Frequently asked questions
- Is 10,000 steps the right goal?
- 10,000 steps/day is a popular target, but research suggests meaningful health benefits begin at 7,000–8,000 steps. Any increase from your baseline is beneficial.
- How accurate are the calorie estimates?
- The formula (~0.04 kcal/step for a 70 kg person) is a rough average. A fitness tracker with GPS and heart rate will give a more personalised figure.
