Description
Here’s how it works: walk for 60 minutes at 6 a.m. or 6 p.m. Start with a 6-minute warm-up and end with a 6-minute cool-down.
✅ The pros: Walking is low impact, so it’s easier on your joints than running. Walking more than 3,500 steps a day is linked to a lower risk of dying from heart disease. Doing this every day also gets you well past the 150 minutes a week of exercise the CDC recommends.
⚠️ The catch: An hour a day is a big time commitment. The benefits come from walking itself, not the sixes.
💡 New to walking? The American Heart Association says 10 to 15 minutes is enough to start. Then build up from there.
