For years, federal physical activity guidelines have told Americans how much time they should spend moving each week: at least 150 minutes, or 75 minutes if workouts are particularly vigorous.
Is the length of your workout or your daily step count a better measure of wellness? Both are good metrics, says Dr. Rikuta Hamaya... designed a head-to-head comparison. Both were equally good.
Among women in the study, the median number of daily steps was around 5,200, while the median physical-activity duration was about an hour per week.
People who exercised more also tended to walk more, but the two measures weren't perfectly synced.
