I’ve walked 10,000 steps a day for the past 90 days — here’s what I’ve learned and what happened to my body

Walking 10,000 steps per day is known to improve a person's health, but reaching that goal can be difficult for many, considering it's the equivalent of walking around 5 miles. Now, new research is showing more efficient ways to get similar health benefits without devoting at least an hour per day to walking. The study, published in the medical journal Atherosclerosis, found that climbing five flights of stairs per day -- or around 50 steps -- lowered the risk of cardiovascular disease by 20%.

Walking regularly can reduce the risk of heart disease by as much as 40% and lengthen your lifespan as much as 5 years.
