How much walking do you need to include in your routine? How much – and what type – of walking do you currently do each day?


We need 10,000 to 15,000 steps daily to maintain our health, plus an extra 3,000 to 4,000 to lose weight. Start slowly and build up, especially if you're on the low end of the walking spectrum. You can also include hills and increase speed to maximize your walking time.
