If you like to hit a daily step target, or the thought of heading out for a walk in bitterly cold weather just isn’t appealing right now, indoor walking workouts are worth a look. They’re nothing new, but they’re an efficient way to get some cardio in and boost your health and mood without stepping outside.
For years, the 10,000-step goal was treated as the gold standard. Since then, research has suggested lower targets, with some studies pointing to around 7,000 steps and others showing it can vary depending on age and activity levels. What the science does agree on is that walking is consistently good for your body.
