How much do I need to walk?

150 minutes.

Amount of time adults need per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (activity that speeds up your heart rate and breathing) to stay healthy.

Break it down.

30 minutes per day x 5 days per week = 150 minutes per week

Walking briskly for 30 minutes per day, 5 days a week will help you meet this goal. But any 10-minute bout of physical activity helps.

Split it up.

10 minutes + 10 minutes + 10 minutes = 30 minutes

If you can't walk for 30 minutes at a time, you can take three 10-minute walks instead.

Step it up.

For more health benefits and to control your weight, you may need to walk more. Aim for 300 minutes each week, or about 1 hour a day for 5 days. The more you walk, the more health benefits you may gain!
