Walking is one of the simplest and most effective forms of exercise for improving overall health. But how many miles should you aim for daily?
Experts suggest that walking 3 to 4 miles per day—approximately 6,000 to 8,000 steps—provides significant health benefits for most people.
Key Benefits of Walking Walking regularly can: Improve cardiovascular health by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol. Support weight management by burning calories.
Enhance mental health by reducing stress and improving mood. Strengthen muscles and joints, promoting mobility and balance.
Why 3 to 4 Miles? Studies show that walking this distance strikes a balance between being achievable and providing measurable health benefits.
If you fall below the suggested numbers, don’t worry! Consistent practice and strength training can help you improve.
Start with modified push-ups, such as knee push-ups or incline push-ups, and gradually work up to full push-ups.
