A fitness editor at Tom's Guide undertook a personal challenge to walk 10,000 steps daily for 90 days, discovering several benefits and insights. Despite being 8 months pregnant and not aiming for weight loss, the challenge helped her stay motivated, think about her walking form, and enjoy the mental benefits of regular exercise. She found that walking 10,000 steps is roughly equivalent to five miles and suggested ways to incorporate more steps into daily routines. The experience underscored the accessibility of walking as a free form of exercise and its positive impact on focus and stress levels. The editor now considers the 10,000 steps a day an enjoyable part of her routine.
