Do you have a Fitbit or Apple Watch that has made you obsessive about the number of steps you walk a day? Do you find yourself working for those 10,000 steps? Well hold on a minute – I may blow your mind.
According to an article I just read in Inc. magazine – which I will grant you is not a leading health authority but bear with me – it isn’t necessarily the number of steps you take in a day that will help you maintain or improve your health. It’s apparently the pace you keep while taking the steps.
