daily steps

Fitness tracker metric

Daily steps refers to the number of steps a person walks in a day, typically tracked by a fitness device or smartphone.

The phrase gained currency with wearable technology that counts and gamifies walking: I'm trying to hit my daily steps before dinner.

Ten thousand daily steps became a widely cited fitness benchmark, though the number originated in marketing rather than medical research.
