Did you know that it's recommended you walk 10,000 steps per day? I'm sure some of you fall short of that goal each day, myself included. There's one surefire way to get those steps up, though. According to a study presented at the American Heart Association’s Epidemiology and Prevention / Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health 2017 Scientific Sessions, playing Pokemon GO makes it more likely that you'll hit that daily goal. The average amount of steps added for Pokemon GO players came out to be 1,976 steps, with the most sedentary of the test subjects adding 3,000 steps a ay.
