Why 10,000 steps?

Sounds like a lot, but when you see it takes 500 steps to walk from the car park to the supermarket you’re well on your way to hitting your goal. Reaching 10,000 steps every day will help you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Read 10,000 Steps articles to learn more.

Increasing your physical activity levels, through increasing your daily step count, is worthwhile; even if 10,000 steps is not the right goal for you. The most important thing is being as active as you can. Striving for 10,000 steps is just one way of doing this.

One Size Doesn’t Fit All

Of course, some people accumulate less steps per day – for example, older people, those with chronic disease, and office workers. Others do a lot more: children, runners, and some blue-collar workers. So the 10,000 step goal is not suitable for everyone.

Setting a lower individual step goal is fine as long as you try to add about 3,000 to 4,000 steps to your day. This means you will have done your 30 minutes of activity.

Resources & Apps

Pedometers

Steps From Long Term Car Parks to Langtree Mall

Don‘t be put off by the myth that there is a lack of parking in Mildura City Heart. It isn‘t far from the long term carparks to the mall, and this is on top of all the available 2 hour parking. Mildura City Heart is home to over 300 traders, ranging from retailers, restaurants, cafes, bars, cinemas, art galleries, hotels, business professionals and entertainment.
