What this walking workout is like

No Time? No Excuses! This 5-minute quick & sweaty cardio will definitely get your blood flowing and heart pumping You can use it as a warm-up before your next (dance) workout, a quick morning exercise set to wake up with the right energy, or as your secret express mood-boosting hack Absolutely no equipment needed!

It is set to music and built around walking to the beat, so it feels closer to dancing in your kitchen than to a workout class. 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 somewhere around 750 steps, depending on how big you make each one. 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 6 minute walking workout?

Roughly 750 steps, which is around 0.3 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?

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