Miranda Martin+FollowNot All Steps Are Created Equal!Did you know there are actually two types of walking? Intentional walks (think: power strolls or exercise) boost your heart, muscles, and mood—plus, even a 5-minute walk can seriously up your health game. Then there’s ambient walking, like pacing while on calls or grabbing coffee. It won’t get your heart pumping, but it keeps you from sitting too long (which is basically the new smoking). Both types count, so mix it up and step your way to better health! #Fitness #WalkingTips #HealthyHabits20Share
Joshua Morris+FollowForget 10k Steps—Try This Walking HackTurns out you don’t need to hit 10,000 steps to boost your health. A Harvard doc says interval walking—alternating 3 minutes slow, 3 minutes brisk, for 30 minutes—can seriously up your fitness game. People are raving about it online, and it’s way more doable than that old 10k step goal (which, fun fact, was just a catchy marketing thing from the ‘60s!). Better mood, sleep, and heart health? I’m in! #FitnessHacks #WalkingTips #HealthNews #Fitness232Share
hhill+FollowStop Using Wrist Weights on Walks!Turns out, those wrist and ankle weights everyone’s been strapping on for walks? Total no-go, according to walking coach Joyce Shulman—they mess up your natural stride and can hurt your joints. But if you want to torch more calories, try these instead: 1) Rucking—just add a few pounds to a backpack and walk. 2) Exercise snacking—throw in some squats or lunges mid-walk. 3) Walking intervals—alternate between power walking and a chill pace. Your joints will thank you! #WalkingTips #FitnessHacks #HealthyHabits #CalorieBurn20Share
margaret39+FollowWalking Faster = Stronger You?Turns out, picking up your walking pace (just 14 steps per minute faster!) can seriously boost mobility for older adults. A new study found this simple change led to a 10% jump in functional capacity for people at risk of frailty. Walking isn’t just about getting from A to B—it helps with strength, endurance, and even living longer. Pro tip: Use a metronome app to track your steps and keep your form strong. Who knew a brisk walk could be such a game changer? #Fitness #HealthyAging #WalkingTips100Share
