You do not need a gym to start. Brisk walking burns about 4 to 5 kcal a minute for most adults, and it is gentle on the joints.
Build it into your day
- Get off the jeep or tricycle one stop early.
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator for two or three floors.
- Walk for 10 minutes after each meal — it also helps your blood sugar.
- Walk while you take phone calls.
How many steps?
If you walk about 4,000 steps a day now, add 1,000 every week until you reach 8,000 to 10,000. See what each activity burns for your weight on our Exercise Burn page.
