Walking 10,000 steps typically takes between about 1 hour and 40 minutes to 2 hours and 30 minutes, depending on walking speed and cadence.

• At a cadence of 100 steps per minute, which is considered a brisk walking pace, it would take approximately 100 minutes (1 hour and 40 minutes) to complete 10,000 steps

• If walking faster at about 120-130 steps per minute, the time can reduce to around 1 hour and 16 to 1 hour and 23 minutes

• Slower walking speeds or a more leisurely pace can extend the time up to 2.5 hours

Average walking speed for healthy adults is roughly 3 miles per hour, which corresponds to about 2,000 steps per mile, so 10,000 steps is roughly 5 miles

. At 3 mph, it takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes to cover that distance. Factors influencing the time include age, fitness level, stride length, walking terrain, and walking purpose (leisure vs brisk exercise)

. In summary, for most healthy adults walking at a moderate to brisk pace (around 100 steps per minute), expect to spend about 1 hour and 40 minutes walking 10,000 steps. Walking faster or slower will adjust this time accordingly.
