Step Poster STEP TO A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE!
Step to a Healthier Lifestyle bridges the gap of today's recommendations for physical activity to previously established knowledge of the calorie expenditure in exercise. It illustrates the number of steps as measured by a pedometer that are recommended for increasing health benefits. It also highlights the recommended health benefits zones as reported in the Surgeon General's Report (1996). Moderate levels of physical activity are illustrated as those most recommended for a healthy lifestyle. As we continue to focus on the contribution of all physical activity towards a healthy lifestyle, step counts are an easy and inexpensive indicator of how well each person is doing on a daily basis.
