Walking Durations…
Yesterday, we discussed how 30-40 minute walks are proven to improve heart health. But what about shorter walks? Or longer walks? Are there any benefits to those durations?
I’m glad you asked. ⬇️
⏱ 2-5 minutes: Walking just 2-5 minutes every half hour helps with blood sugar regulation and weight loss. It’s also beneficial to do this just after a meal, as a short walk just after eating helps stabilize blood sugar.
⏱ 10 minutes: Walking for 10 minutes (at moderate intensity) helps lower blood pressure, improves mood, and reduces illness risks.
⏱ 30 minutes: Daily 30-minute walks help reduce depression and boost bone density.
⏱ 40 minutes: Walking for 40 minutes three times per week is found to improve memory, and as we discussed yesterday, improve cardiovascular health!
⏱ 60 minutes: Improves sleep, reduces depression, and reduces stress!
It’s also important to note that any amount of walking helps keep your body in motion, which helps with your overall fat loss goals. Long story short—if you want to improve your health and fat-loss goals, get to walking! 👟
TAKING ACTION:
✅ Let’s share today! Did you focus on walking/steps prior to this challenge? Is it part of your routine? There’s no right or wrong answer, friends! My hope is that this challenge will be just what you need to build upon!
