How long should it take to walk 10,000 steps?

The article from MSN discusses the time it takes to walk 10,000 steps, which is often considered a daily goal for maintaining health and fitness. The duration to achieve this step count varies based on several factors including walking speed, stride length, and terrain. On average, walking at a normal pace of about 3 miles per hour (mph), it would take approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes to walk 10,000 steps, assuming an average stride length. However, this can differ; for instance, a brisk walker might take less time, around 1 hour and 20 minutes, while someone walking at a leisurely pace might take over 2 hours. The article also notes that factors like age, fitness level, and whether the walk includes hills or flat surfaces can influence the time. Additionally, it highlights the health benefits of reaching this step goal, including improved cardiovascular health, weight management, and mental well-being, but also emphasizes that the quality of steps (intensity and consistency) can be as important as the quantity.
