Walking

Having access to a Peloton Tread is the best way to get the most from a walking workout. With workouts on Peloton Tread, you’ll get access to live metrics, community engagement, and sophisticated software features to supplement your routine.

Either is fine! Long walks can help strengthen your muscles while building endurance. Walk for as long as you can, as fast as you can, every day to benefit most from this exercise. Don’t let yourself be limited by your location, walking workouts can be done at home on a treadmill, at the gym, or outside.

Walking for 20 minutes a day is a great way to kickstart a new fitness routine. Even just committing 20 minutes a day to movement can help improve your health in the long run. Find ways to make movement enjoyable for yourself – grab your headphones and listen to music, follow along to a guided workout with Peloton, or call a friend to catch up as you get moving.

Whether walking on a treadmill or enjoying a stroll outdoors, the benefits of walking remain similar. While outdoors can provide Vitamin D, fresh air, and natural resistance (like hills), walking on a treadmill gives you more control over your workout’s pace, time, and incline. Even walking at a 2% incline has advantages over a flat surface. Aim for 30 minutes of movement a day, every day, to experience the healthy benefits of walking.

Ten thousand steps are equivalent to about 5 miles, depending on your stride. Generally, it takes between 1.5 and 2 hours of walking at an average pace to get all 10,000 steps in one go. Hitting 10,000 steps daily can help you burn up to 300-500 calories and improve your overall muscle endurance. Plus, walking is good for heart health.
