I feel like these articles happen every year and they all try to give you some type of new recommendation while saying the research reality very quietly. These studies constantly show that you should try to walk as much as you can throughout your busy day. The mortality decrease alone with every 500-1000 steps is quite the motivation. It's hard to spend an hour and a half or longer to get to that original 10000 steps mark. We should however encourage movement. A little movement leads to more movement as you start to feel better. What should not happen is to lower the bar of how many steps you "need" each day. Because that is what articles like this and popular health magazines will try to portray.
