I didn't expect to love it as much as I did.
for some guidance. Starrett is a coach, physical therapist, and author who champions walking as a restorative daily practice.
“[I] want walking to be viewed as a necessary biological process, like sleeping, drinking water, or eating food," Starrett says."That’s how important walking is to the system.”is an attainable goal for most people—but there’s no reason to stop there if you want to do more. The more the merrier as long as you gradually increase your steps over time to ensure your body can handle the extra activity, he says.
“There’s some real magic that happens when you walk past 90 minutes,” Starrett explains. With this in mind, I settled on my challenge of walking 20,000 steps a day for two weeks. According to my phone's built-in pedometer, I reached 20,000 steps after walking between 9 and 10 miles most days. However, the distance covered by 20,000 steps differs for everyone. Height and stride length affect how far you walk with each step.
To reach 20,000 steps, I needed to plan out several long walks daily, usually banging out at least half of the steps first thing in the morning then walking the other half after work in the evening, possibly with an afternoon walk sprinkled in.This ad is displayed using third party content and we do not control its accessibility features.This challenge showed me that one's job and location play a big role in how much walking they can do.
It took me about four hours to walk all 20,000 steps each day. Granted, I walked at a pretty leisurely pace to allow my mind to wander, stop and take photos of August flowers, grab coffee, and stroll through museums. On the weekends, I spent entire days strolling with my boyfriend, exploring lakeside parks and the county fair. Walking became my lifestyle and chief hobby—and I'm lucky to live in a place that allowed me to do so much of it.
