Discover why 7,000 steps a day could be your new gold standard for health and longevity. In this episode of the Walking for Health and Fitness Podcast, Frank Ring unpacks a groundbreaking study published in The Lancet Public Health that analyzed 57 studies across 10 countries—and found that walking 7,000 steps a day can:
