Ten minute brisk walk better than 10,000 steps, experts say

Adults should walk briskly for 10 minutes a day to stay healthy rather than focusing on distance or the quantity of steps, health officials have said.

New guidance from Public Health England (PHE) and the Royal College of GPs suggests just 10 minutes of brisk walking a day is an easy way for adults to introduce more moderate intensity physical activity into their day and reduce their risk of early death by up to 15%.
