10,000 Steps a Day at Work: What the New Research Says
Here's a number that has shaped office wellness programs for two decades: 10,000 steps a day. It's printed on motivational posters, baked into Fitbit defaults, and used as the finish line for thousands of workplace step challenges. But a major 2025 meta-analysis published in The Lancet Public Health just changed the conversation. Researchers at the University of Sydney pooled 57 studies covering more than 160,000 adults and found that 7,000 steps a day delivers nearly the same health benefits as 10,000. So what does that mean for your team? Should you scrap the 10,000 steps a day at work goal, or keep it? The answer is more interesting than you'd think.
