Walking is one of the most underrated forms of exercise. This four-week plan builds the habit gradually.

Weeks 1–2: build the habit

Start with 15–20 minute walks most days. The goal is consistency, not speed. Anchor walks to an existing routine to make them stick.

Extend to 30 minutes and add gentle inclines or a slightly quicker pace. Small increases keep it challenging without burnout.

Track your streak, walk with a friend, or use a podcast to make it something you look forward to.
