I've read the cited study. It's about longevity specifically - you're unlikely to live longer by taking more than 7,000 steps per day. It says nothing about other benefits, or lack thereof. I know I'm fitter, have better lung capacity, better endurance, better pain tolerance from putting up with blisters on my feet, etc. from covering big distances consistently. Judging from comments, it's good for my appearance, too.
