At 44% mortality reduction for 4,700 steps, and 65% at 7,500,
I can’t help but draw a curve in my mind where 10,000 steps is awfully close to the asymptote it is approaching, or at least an inflection point where further benefits rapidly diminish.
So the original figure of 10,000 would be surprisingly close to the mark, considering its genesis.
- blunte 6y ago10,000 is also a nice number. It's big enough to be impressive, but not so big that we cannot imagine reaching it. It also takes 10,000 hours to master a skill... There are probably other "10,000" goals in human behavior.
