Beginner 1 Mile Walk | Walk at Home
To start walking for fitness, try to begin with a 20-minute walk every day. “If that’s too much, start smaller,” Dr. Roizen says. “But do set a goal of building to 30 minutes a day, every day.”
Once you’ve mastered that, take your time increasing to a higher level. Never increase more than 10% more any one day than your maximum the prior week.
When you’re ready, increase your goal to 10,000 steps a day (a pedometer will help — see item #4).
