How many steps do you need in a day?

It is finally SPRING and in Northern Michigan (where I am based) the snow is starting to melt and the sidewalks are starting to clear. It’s time to get outside and start WALKING! I speak with patients every day about walking as a key part of overall fitness and well-being. Walking is fundamental to general fitness, helps to lower stress hormones (cortisol), and can even lower the blood sugar impact of a meal!
