Walking is important, but challenging yourself to go faster and higher can improve your health even more.<\/p>\n

We love counting steps. Maybe it\u2019s because we like goals or else the constant reminder on our wrists of how far we\u2019ve gone and need to go to hit a daily target. Or it could also be that study<\/a> after study<\/a> says walking is one of the most attainable ways to increase longevity.<\/p>\n

So we ask ourselves: How many steps are enough? Are more steps better? A paper published recently in the British Journal of Sports Medicine<\/a> found that as few as 2,200 steps could help fight diseases exacerbated by a sedentary lifestyle like heart disease<\/a> and diabetes, though walking up to 9,000 steps was more effective.<\/p>\n

But focusing purely on the number of steps misses the whole picture. Researchers now say that after a certain point, what kind of steps<\/a> you\u2019re taking is just as important as the amount.<\/p>\n

So whether you\u2019re hitting that bare minimum target of 2,200 steps or you\u2019re consistently logging 10,000, here are a few tactics to make more of your daily walk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
