   There are 2000 steps in a mile for the average person.  If you walk less than 5000 steps in a day, you are considered sedentary.  Women who walk at least 7,500 steps a day have 50% lower incidence of depression.  6,000 steps help ease and prevent knee pain in osteoarthritis sufferers.  10,000 steps a day is associated with lower blood pressure and reduced chance of diabetes.  Lots of reason to keep on walking.
