How much should one ideally walk in a day to stay fit and healthy

Some of us walk in minutes and some walk in kilometers, but have you ever wondered what is the ideal way to walk? Or how many hours in a day a healthy individual should ideally walk?

The ideal duration of daily walking varies based on individual health goals, fitness level, and lifestyle factors. For general health benefits, aiming for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity walking most days of the week is recommended. This equates to about 150 minutes per week, aligning with guidelines from health authorities such as the American Heart Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
