Your outcome

A usable movement routine you can repeat comfortably.

Is this a fit?

Choose this if the instructions and movements fit your current abilities. Repeating or choosing a lower level is always an option.

Before you begin

Choose a flat, familiar route and suitable shoes. These are starting durations, not a complete weekly activity target. Walk at a pace that lets you talk comfortably.

Follow the guide

  1. 01

    Monday

    10 minutes

    Begin with 2 easy minutes, walk comfortably for 6, then slow down for 2.

  2. 02

    Tuesday

    Rest or 5 easy minutes

    Choose rest if you feel tired or sore. A shorter walk still counts.

  3. 03

    Wednesday

    10 minutes

    Repeat Monday. Keep the pace comfortable rather than chasing distance.

  4. 04

    Thursday

    Rest

    Take your usual comfortable movement breaks if you want.

  5. 05

    Friday

    12 minutes

    If earlier walks felt good, add 2 minutes. Otherwise repeat 10 or shorten it.

  6. 06

    Saturday

    Optional 10 minutes

    Choose a pleasant route or invite someone along. This is optional.

  7. 07

    Sunday

    Rest and reflect

    Notice which time and route were easiest to repeat. Use that for next week.

Make it work for you

Split a walk into two shorter outings, or repeat the same week. Add time gradually when recovery is comfortable. Indoor corridors or a level indoor space are alternatives.
