This plan sets out weekly goals which most people should be able to reach. The goal by the end of the four weeks is to be achieving active living by walking. This means, building up 30 minutes of walking on most days of the week.
Most people should manage to reach 30 minutes of walking most days, so long as they have no medical conditions limiting the amount of activity they can do. Remember, if you're starting from zero steps, or living with a long term condition, or recovering from illness, any increase in the amount you walk is a step in the right direction.
The plan can be followed by keeping track of either:
- Number of steps taken each day - using a step counter or fitness tracker, or
- Total number of minutes walked over the course of a day
