Reaching 10,000 steps a day has become an important goal for staying active and improving your health – especially with increasingly sedentary lifestyles. Today, many people use a space-saving folding treadmill to walk conveniently at home and incorporate physical activity into their daily routine.
On average, it takes about 75 to 100 minutes of walking on a treadmill to reach 10,000 steps – depending on your walking speed. At a moderate speed of 4 to 5 km/h, most users reach this goal in about 1 hour and 20 to 30 minutes. Modern treadmills such as the sportstech swalk-gris, sportstech f10, sportstech stread-fold-pro or sportstech f31s enable precise tracking of steps, distance, and calories burned.
