"Maximize Health Gains: Optimal Times and Surprising Perks of a Daily 10,000-Step Walk"

Joanna Hall, a sports scientist, has developed a four-week walking plan to aid in weight loss and improve fitness, suitable for both beginners and advanced walkers. The plan starts with a daily goal of 7,500 steps and includes progressively longer brisk-paced walking sessions each week. Walking is promoted as a sustainable, low-impact way to create a calorie deficit and lose weight when combined with healthy eating habits. The plan emphasizes gradual intensity increase and consistency, making it a practical approach for those looking to maintain long-term weight management.
