What this walking workout is like

35 min 4900 steps intense walking workout - hike the Alps from home! This killer full body cardio walking workout burns calories and tones every muscle. No equipment, all standing, no repeats. Challenging but low impact. Feel like you just conquered a mountain Can't get to the Alps?

The pace picks up early and stays there, with short bursts that get you properly warm and breathing hard. 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

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 4,900 steps, which is roughly 2.0 miles at an average woman's stride. Half an hour, five days a week, is essentially the whole 150-minutes-a-week activity guideline met in your living room. 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 35 minute walking workout?

About 4,900 steps, which is around 2.0 miles at an average woman's stride. Bigger steps and higher knees add more.

Is it OK for bad knees?

There is no jumping, so nothing lands hard. Some sessions include shallow squats or lunges; make them smaller or march through them if your knees complain.

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?

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?

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