  • The Science of Step Counting

    Walking is one of the most effective ways to maintain cardiovascular health and manage weight. The number of calories burned per step is directly proportional to your body mass and the distance traveled. Heavier individuals use more energy to move, resulting in a higher caloric burn for the same number of steps.
