Here’s How Long You Should Walk Every Day to Keep Your Heart Healthy
To keep your heart healthy, aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity walking per day, or about 150 minutes per week.
This recommendation comes from guidelines provided by health organizations like the American Heart Association.
However, if you're able and willing, increasing your walking time to 60 minutes per day can offer even greater cardiovascular benefits.

Moderate-intensity walking means walking briskly enough to raise your heart rate and break a sweat, but you should still be able to carry on a conversation comfortably.
If you're new to exercise or have health concerns, start with shorter durations and gradually increase your walking time as your fitness level improves.
In addition to regular walking, incorporating other forms of aerobic exercise, such as swimming, cycling, or dancing, can further enhance your heart health.
