I almost called the 6-6-6 walking workout a gimmick - but I changed my mind after it transformed my routine in 2 weeks

I'm not normally one for internet-led fitness trends, but in recent years, I've been inspired to try new ways of working out. I've trekked across hills doing the 3-2-1 method and across my living room on walking pads in the last year alone. In that time, I've learnt that sometimes these trends are more than just a gimmick, and the 6-6-6 walking routine is another to add to the list.

My workouts have been a little haphazard over the summer months, but September is a new season, and with it comes the need to get back to some semblance of routine. For me, nothing beats walking. It helps me feel better physically and mentally, clearing my mind at the start or end of the day. It's also low impact, boosting bone, heart, and brain health without serious strain.
