Walk Your Way to Fitness: 3 Expert-Designed Routines for Every Goal

Research shows that walking is an effective health and fitness strategy, offering more benefits than you'd expect. While our bodies are built for walking, there are several ways to optimize your daily steps. Health consulted three experts with unique approaches to help you find the best walking workout for your needs.

Workout 1: 10,000+ Steps a Day 

Celebrity trainer David Kirsch emphasizes that walking boosts heart health, burns calories, and promotes mindfulness. Start with 10,000 steps daily, and aim for 15,000 to 25,000 as you progress. Add challenges like inclines or weights to intensify your walks, incorporating toning exercises like lunges or squats to build muscle and endurance.

Workout 2: Walk 30 Minutes Per Day 

Endocrinologist Dr. Amy Rothberg recommends 30 minutes of walking five days a week for weight maintenance. You can split this into short bursts throughout the day. Quick, intense walking can help boost fitness and burn fat while fostering habits through small successes.

Workout 3: Walk/Jog for 10+ Minutes 

Running coach Jeff Galloway suggests mixing jogging intervals into your walk. Start with short jogs and gradually increase the duration to build endurance while preventing injury. This method can help you train for longer distances or races, alternating between walking and running intervals.

Eric Stonestreet Calls Out Hollywood's Authenticity Problem

Eric Stonestreet, known for his role on "Modern Family," shared his thoughts on Hollywood life, describing it as less glamorous than it seems. After 11 seasons on the show, he returned to his hometown of Kansas City and noted the stark contrast between Midwestern authenticity and Hollywood's superficiality. On "In Depth with Graham Bensinger," Stonestreet remarked that while the entertainment industry showcases the best of his profession, it also amplifies its negatives, saying, "I’m having all these authentic, real moments" in Kansas City, while in Hollywood, he encounters a different vibe. He acknowledged some perks of Hollywood, like being offered exotic fruits, but emphasized that returning home made him appreciate his roots even more. Stonestreet played Cameron Tucker on "Modern Family" from 2009 to 2020.
