Questions people ask
- How brisk is a brisk walk?A brisk walk is moderate effort: you can talk but not sing. For most adults that's about 100 steps a minute or more, or roughly 2.5–3 mph (4–5 km/h) or faster. These are rough guides, so the right pace for you depends on your height, age, fitness and any disability.
- Is walking enough exercise?Walking can cover the aerobic part: 150–300 minutes a week of moderate activity, in walks of any length. The guidelines also ask for muscle-strengthening on at least 2 days a week, and for balance and strength activity if you're 65 or over, so add those to reach the full recommendation.
