  • Accessible and totally free, it's why towards the end of 2024, I tried walking 8k steps for 7 days to remind myself of the many benefits it brings. I tasked myself with this challenge because I'm someone who spends the majority of my time sitting down.

The article on MSN details a personal experiment where the author walked 8,000 steps daily for seven days to explore the effects on their mental and physical well-being. Initially skeptical, the author found that this moderate exercise significantly improved their mood, reduced stress, and enhanced sleep quality. Physically, they noticed increased energy levels, better posture, and a slight weight loss. The routine also fostered a sense of achievement and mindfulness, as the walks provided time for reflection and enjoying nature. The author was pleasantly surprised by how this simple addition to their daily routine could lead to substantial health benefits, advocating for the inclusion of regular walking in daily life for overall health improvement.
