For the new company's first hire, GymBird is choosing one lucky person to walk 10,000 steps in one day for $10,000, according to its site. Accepting the offer requires the CSO to train for a month until they feel comfortable walking 10,000 steps in a single day. "By the last day of the month, they must walk the full 10,000 steps within a 24-hour period," GymBird wrote in its job offering. Just under 10,000 steps each day (9,800) can lower risk of dementia by 50%, according to two studies published in JAMA Neurology and JAMA Internal Medicine last year. For every 2,000 steps you walk daily, you can reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease and premature death by 10%, peaking at 10,000 steps, the research shows.
