Health freaks in the house - what do you think of 1 hour walk of 6700 steps?

under - average - okay

It's a good effort and good for your health.

@SW-User Thanks :) what should be the target you think
SW-User
@SW-User The number really depends on a range of factors such as current level of fitness, health issues, age etc. 6,700 steps is about 5km and is about the speed i'd walk it.

If you want to choose a target, i'd recommend basing the speed on your heart rate as you walk assuming your health is ok for it. So the maximum your heart rate should get to is 220 - your age. Then if you are trying to burn body fat, the fat burning rate is 70% of your maximum that you just calculated. So for me it'd be (220 - 47) x 0.7. So that's around 120 beats per minute to walk at :)

It's enough. I did 24.000 the other day but 6k is enough

Depends on age and health. It’s a bit low for the average person.
