What is the average number of steps that FitBit users take per day?

The average number of steps that Fitbit users take per day can vary widely depending on individual goals, fitness levels, and other factors.

• For general fitness gains, a common starting point is around 5,000 to 10,000 steps per day. The Mayo Clinic suggests adding 1,000 steps each week to gradually increase the daily step count1.
• Many Fitbit users aim for the 10,000-step goal, which is roughly equivalent to about five miles of walking per day and aligns with the CDC's recommendation of at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week1.
• However, some users may have much higher averages; for example, there are reports of users averaging over 17,000 steps per day or even higher in some cases23.

There is no single "average" that applies universally to all Fitbit users, as step counts can vary significantly based on individual health goals, fitness levels, and daily activities.
