Walking burns fewer calories per minute than running, but you can do it every day without getting tired or injured. Over a month, that adds up to more than most people expect.
Start where you are
If you walk 3,000 steps a day now, aim for 5,000 for two weeks, then 7,000. Jumping straight to 10,000 often leads to giving up.
Fit it into your day
A 10-minute walk after each meal adds up to half an hour. Take calls while walking, use the stairs and get off one stop early.
Walking after meals
A short walk after eating feels good and helps digestion. It is one of the easiest habits to stack onto a routine you already have.
Do not skip strength
Walking supports fat loss, but strength training keeps your muscle. The best plans combine both, which is how FitGeek plans are built.
