10,000 steps a day is supposed to help you maintain your health. This, of course, is for people who tend not to be active otherwise. So if you are active and get adequate exercise, which for most of us is difficult to determine outside of weight management, you may not need to take extra steps, but it won't hurt, if you are otherwise healthy.

10,000, but the average person manages around 3,000.
