The article from MSN discusses the time it takes to walk 10,000 steps, which is often recommended as a daily goal for health benefits. The duration 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 complete 10,000 steps, assuming an average stride length of 2.5 feet. However, this can differ; for instance, a brisk walker might take around 1 hour and 20 minutes, while someone with a slower pace might need 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 count, including improved cardiovascular health, weight management, and mental well-being.
