What is the most amount of steps anyone has ever walked in a single day?

[Mmiller2827]

I am just curious about the most steps walked in a single day. I have 45,000, and it was tough getting that badge.

[Terrynabess]

Here is the most I have ever done 69,621 steps

[BettaPonic]

It changed, just got 100,000 steps.

[Wawie]

So far I did 61k steps in one day and I am still dreaming of reaching to 70k steps perhaps gotta do it next week but have to get up really early hahaha. I just started walking in the morning a month ago and really I feel so good and light. Every morning I walk 2 to 3 hours but If I wanna reach that 70k steps probably heaps of hours lolz, unless I am going to zumba, u-jam and body combat classes which we are working on so many steps lol.

Is age a factor?  I use fitbit to maintain and hopefully improve the collateral blood supply to my right leg after blocking the artery to it following a car crash 40 years ago - I am now 71 years old.  I have ischaemic pain in the leg if I run, jog or walk fast but I wanted to drive my leg hard  for the personal challenge  - so I did over 70,000 steps in a day, 2 days ago - is that unusual?

That is fantastic! I’m a healthy, fit 39 year old. I did 64,000 in a day and that seemed like a real push. The next day my legs were hurting.

So good on you. You’ve obviously taken great care of yourself over the years.

bless you Sroney - always nice to receive encouragement

I thought I should contribute to this discussion of Herculean personal efforts, not to boast, but to demonstrate to younger fitness enthusiasts that even with advancing age and a physical limitation it remains entirely possible to stay fit .  At 71 I work on average 80 hour/week but use every opportunity to keep on the move while phoning, computing, reading and even talking to colleagues (much better, if practical, to go for a walk and talk than slump in a chair),  Sustained low level activity over decades  seems entirely feasible - my next target is 85,000 steps in a day - my outdoor shoes became uncomfortable after the first 60,000 steps - trainers should do the trick next time, I hope

@professorial I think everything you are doing is admirable and reasonable, except maybe working 80 hours a week (I stopped that when I retired). I will be 67 at the end of the month and have been using Fitbit for almost exactly 2 years, during which I have accumulated 27.5 million steps (works out to averaging 37.5k per day, every day). I don't put a great deal of stock in giant daily numbers - almost anybody can be crazy for a day (and regret it the next) - but I have been over 100k 18 times with a max of 132k (also 133 times over 60k in a day). Guess it is worth noting that I have been an endurance walker/hiker for over 40 years, and I am now retired in the Front Range of the Rockies where I can walk and run trails and two-tracks as much as I want, without ever getting bored (Fresh snow on the high peaks today).

Most steps in a running session is 5,018 steps in 40 minutes burning 444 calories.

Hi BruceBu - you are a phenomenon - that is a staggering achievement - I will never achieve that because of my work  and lack of a main artery in my right leg -  though I am capable of sustaining 30-40k steps per day if given the time - and there was no regret or soreness after my 70k - but over 130k in a day - wow - what a record

I appreciate the comment about an 80 hour week but I'm a workoholic to the same extent that you are a walkoholic -  its good to be driven by something!!.  

You are an inspiration - well done indeed 

[Gypsy25]

I got close to the 24k and my knees did hurt,  anyway I felt pride of it, I will try next week 25k.

[Sopapilla]

I think you meant.....feet?

[cuwizman]

[Wooh]

41000 in one day and I am 11yrs

and my grandma did (who is 66) 28000 and my sister did 32000 is is 9 the same day

[Ranger2537]

To the person who walked 117K in a day (at work) I doubt it at 2000 steps a mile would be over 58 miles not impossible but no probable. You would have to be doing almost 6 minute miles for a continuous 8 hours shift so unless your job is ultra marathoner I doubt it. I think you have to remember that other activities can skew your results. I went fishing one day mostly with lures it logged a ton of extra steps for my casting.

[SunsetRunner]

The most steps I have ever walked in a day would be 25,000. The only reason I did that because my friend made me run a marathon with her. The longest day of my life. 

[yao0002]

I got 60,000 once. But that was just by shaking my arms. 

[Narwhak4Days]

My Amount Of Steps Was :hundred_points:K And It Was Pretty Neat.

I feel lazy.  I don't even have my 25K step badge haha.  That just seems like SO much to walk/run.  I average 8,000-10,000.  Anything over 12K is a good day for me.
