How much walking should I do?
You need to
walk for at least 30 minutes on five or more days per
week to meet the current recommendations for physical
activity.
You can walk for 30 minutes in one go or you can break it up to
start with eg. do 3 x 10 minute sessions – both count towards your
recommended 30 minutes of healthy walking. But remember, build up
gradually. |

Any amount of walking is good for your health and certainly better
than no exercise at all. However to really help your heart it is
recommended that you walk at a pace that makes you breathe a little
faster, feel warmer and gives you a slightly faster heart beat.
