Why walking is the most underrated exercise (and how to make it actually fun)?

Not a gym person? Wondering how to fit a routine into just 60 minutes? Feeling low on energy or motivation? Cool. Just walk. Walking is the original workout—no speed needed, no fancy equipment, no guilt, just simple movement. And honestly? It’s powerful when you do it right. Let’s make walking fun again.

Why walking works (like, really works)
Adding just 30 minutes of walking a day can:

  • Make you happier (hello, endorphins)

  • Boost heart health

  • Help digestion

  • Support weight management

  • Reduce stress

  • Clear mental fog
    And the best part? You don’t need a pricey gym membership or fancy gear to benefit.

How far do you really need to go?
Forget the 10,000 steps myth (unless you love that). Keep it simple:

  • 15 to 30 minutes a day

  • 4 to 5 times a week

  • You can even split it into two 10-15 minute walks
    The goal is to get your body moving—not to hit a magic number.

How to make walks fun (so you actually do them)

  • Create a playlist that fits your vibe—podcasts, lo-fi beats, or pump-up songs. Something to keep your feet moving.

  • Walk and talk: Call a friend, share stories, laugh out loud.

  • Pick beautiful routes—trees, parks, cafés, rooftops—anything that makes you feel alive.

  • Gamify it: Use apps like StepsApp, Fitbit, or even Pokémon Go if you’re into that kind of thing.

  • Combine walking with errands—grab groceries, coffee, or mail—turn your chores into mini workouts.

Walking and mental health
Some days it’s not about calories but about clearing your mind.

  • Try walking without headphones.

  • Focus on your breath and surroundings.

  • Slow your thoughts and relax.
    Think of it as moving meditation—more beneficial than you might realise.

Make it beautiful (why not?)

  • Wear a cute hat or a matching outfit.

  • Sip iced tea while you walk.

  • Take a selfie when you’re feeling good.

  • Make walking your self-care ritual and enjoy every step.


You don’t need a gym or special equipment to get fit. All it takes is putting one foot in front of the other and giving yourself the chance to move. Start today, start slow—just start walking.
