Ideal step counts you need to clock daily to lose fat optimally 🚶🏻‍♂️

Walking is one of the most underrated forms of activity that we can do to consistently burn more calories throughout the day without affecting our recovery process from strength training in the gym.

Generally,  10,000 steps a day is the ideal benchmark most people aim for. For instance, Public Health’s recommendation is that we should get in 30minutes of moderate physical activity a day.

It’s been shown that this translates to 8,000 steps a day and if we crunch the numbers, bumping up to 10,000 steps a day is effective to burn more calories throughout the day and also keep the fat off  for overall health and weight management in the long term. 

If you are not very active at the moment and struggling to lean down, then set a realistic goal number of steps that you can hit everyday. Doing so will help you create and maintain a calorie deficit while ensuring you do not then compensate by simply eating more as you do so.

Research has also shown that active individuals who burn more calories throughout the day are able to better control their appetite and food intake due to various physiological changes that starts to happen in the body once we are more active.

On that note, do keep in mind that for the best results, these additional steps we will be taking needs to be paired with a proper nutrition plan and regular strength training in the gym.

That will speeds up the process for us and  set up the foundation for our long term success.
