Forget the gym — this 20-minute walking workout builds full-body strength and boosts your metabolism

Woman walking in a city park.

I’m a big fan of a good, long walk. Whether I’ve got 10 minutes or two hours, I’m always keen to lace up a pair of sneakers and get outdoors to stretch my legs.

The benefits of walking are well-documented, improving your physical and mental wellbeing while remaining accessible, low-impact and enjoyable. A walk can be five minutes to the local shop for groceries or a day hiking with the dog out in nature. And making it a daily part of your everyday routine could build mental strength as well as a more robust cardiovascular system and body.
