What this walking workout is like

Need a strength AND cardio session to work out all your muscles, but you're short on time? Then THIS all-standing HIIT is for you . All you need is 1 medium set of dumbbells! Strength workouts don't have to be hours long to get the muscles burn and grow !

The pace picks up early and stays there, with short bursts that get you properly warm and breathing hard. A pair of light dumbbells is used, but a couple of water bottles or nothing at all works just as well.

Who it suits

This one assumes you have done a few of these before. If it is your first, take a beginner workout instead and come back to this in a fortnight. 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 2,000 steps, which is roughly 0.8 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 20 minute walking workout?

About 2,000 steps, which is around 0.8 miles at an average woman's stride. Bigger steps and higher knees add more.

Is it OK for bad knees?

This one has some higher-impact moves. If your knees are sore, pick a workout tagged no jumping instead. See the no-jumping workouts →

Is it good for beginners?

It is a faster session that assumes a few walking workouts behind you. If you are new, start with a beginner one and come back to this.

Do I need equipment or a lot of space?

Light dumbbells are optional; water bottles or nothing at all work too. You need a patch of floor about the size of a bath mat, indoors.
