I’m going to say this slowly…10k steps is NOT just double 5k steps. Here’s why: Most of your “everyday” 5,000 steps come from things like walking around the house, doing chores, and just general movement. But when you add another 5,000 steps on top of that, those are intentional steps — carrying your body weight, done at pace, with real effort. That means you’re not just doubling your calorie burn — you’re probably tripling it. 👉 5,000 steps a day = very low 👉 10,000 steps = decent. 👉 15,000
