This 10-minute walking workout is perfect if you want to boost your step count while staying indoors

A man in shorts, vest and sneakers stretches his leg while standing on a yoga mat in a living room looking down at an open laptop. He is balanced on this left leg, while his right leg is elevated and bent at the knee; both hands clasp the knee. Behind him is a couch, decorative ladder, chest of drawers and a vase full of flowers.

Walking is a great way to get a cardiovascular workout, especially if you’ve just started to exercise regularly—all you’ll need is a pair of good sneakers and a sidewalk.

However, depending on where you live, walking outside may not be an option year round. Treadmills are a good substitute, but they can be costly, take up considerable space and many people find them somewhat boring.
