Why steps matter
Higher daily steps consistently associate with lower mortality and better metabolic markers. NEAT is also the easiest variable to scale without frying recovery.
Targets & tactics
Target 8–10k on average. Use walking meetings, park further, stairs, 10‑min post‑meal walks, standing breaks, and a 20–30 min evening stroll.
Training integration
On lifting days, a 20–30 min walk accelerates recovery; on rest days, stack two longer walks or hikes.
