Build It Up Gradually

Break It Up Into Multiple Short Walks

Planning your walks every day is essential to avoid running out of time and falling short on your target. By ‘time blocking’ your hikes, you won’t feel stressed or rushed to get in your steps.

How to Walk

20,000

Steps A Day

Why Walk 20,000 Steps A Day?

The CDC recommends that you walk 10,000 steps per day to stay in good health. Therefore, anyone looking to get fit or lose weight will significantly benefit from setting the goal to walk 20,000 steps a day. Use these tips if you want to know how to walk more...

Build It Up Gradually

Twenty thousand steps is a lot of ground to cover, so if you are not already walking every day, start slow and gradually work your way up. Start at 5000 steps a day and slowly increase it over a few weeks.

Break It Up Into Multiple Short Walks

Walking 4 hours at once will quickly take its toll on your body and feet. Therefore, I recommend breaking the 4 hours of walking into multiple short walks throughout the day.

Planning your walks every day is essential to avoid running out of time and falling short on your target. By ‘time blocking’ your hikes, you won’t feel stressed or rushed to get in your steps.

Schedule Your Walking

Walk To Work (Or Park Further Away)

Another lifestyle change you can make is to walk to and from work instead of driving or taking public transport. Walking to work doesn’t just help you get your steps in, but it will also save you money.
