What this walking workout is like

The pace builds gradually, with a warm-up at the start and a stretch to finish, so nothing arrives before you are ready for it. Both feet stay low throughout: no jumping, nothing that lands hard, and nothing your downstairs neighbours will hear. You need no equipment at all — trainers and a patch of floor about the size of a bath mat.

Who it suits

It suits you whether this is your second walking workout or your fiftieth — the moves are simple, and the intensity is largely set by how big you make them. If your balance is still finding itself, stand behind a dining chair and rest a hand on the back — that is a sensible adaptation, not a compromise.

Fitting it into your day

Expect around 1,000 steps, which is roughly 0.4 miles at an average woman's stride. Short sessions add up exactly the same as long ones, so two of these in a day counts as a proper walk. Want your own numbers rather than an average? The steps to miles calculator works it out from your height.

Common questions

How many steps is this 10 minute walking workout?

About 1,000 steps, which is around 0.4 miles at an average woman's stride. Bigger steps and higher knees add more.

Is it OK for bad knees?

It is one of the kinder ones: no jumping, and no squats or lunges, so nothing loads a bent knee. Keep the steps small at first and stop if a joint hurts rather than just works.

Will my downstairs neighbours hear it?

Very unlikely. Both feet stay low, so it sounds like walking across a room. Trainers and a rug or mat make it quieter still.

Is it good for beginners?

Yes. The moves are simple, called out before they happen, and you set the intensity by how big you make them.

Do I need equipment or a lot of space?

No equipment, just trainers. You need a patch of floor about the size of a bath mat, indoors.
