Step Counters Work

Step counters turn walks into wins. CDC says 7,000-10,000 steps daily—about 3-5 miles—cuts heart risk 20%. Clip on a tracker or use your phone; every step counts. Start at 5,000, add 500 weekly—brisk pace (Borg’s 12-14) rules. Studies show steppers stick to exercise 15% more. Pair with rehab class goals—hit 8,000, brag a bit. Your heart’s ticking up fitness—count it, crush it!
