Must also watch diet.

No point burn calories during walking, then pile back the calories after it.

Nope. Our body is super efficient at walking, the weight loss is miniscule. Even 20k steps everyday wont make much of a dent if you eat normally. You want you try brisk walking.

Walking for about an hour a day and getting enough sunlight are just about the only things you need to stay healthy. If you can add in weight training, that would be even better. But never jog or run unless u need to clear IPPT, those will never help lose fat in the long run

Agreed. It was meant to encourage users of Healthy 365 app to take up Healthy Challenge through gamification and rewards.

It was towards post Covid-19, when outdoor activities were encouraged, and certain PCN like Jurong Lakeside, Bedok Reservoir, Railway Corridor, Mount Faber routes (min 2km+) were selected as part of "active walks/runs" with Points and Bonus.

10k steps is just a Challenge, not meant to be a Standard for Healthier Lifestyle. Most Healthy 365 users will Daily Max 10k steps walk like 30mins in the morning and 30mins in the evening (3-6 - 4 km), Hardcore Healthy 365 uses will 5k step brisk walk in the morning and 5k step brisk walk in the evening (5-6km). Of course, 10k step run will be like 8-10km (if using GPS route instead of Steps).

Steps and Pace: Walk (short and slow), Brisk Walk (moderate), and Run (further and fast). If 10k Steps per day, it is still up to the Individual Healthy Lifestyle.

Due to work, weekdays just enough Steps to and fro Home to Work. Weekends, just go 80k steps/brisk walk/run max or more.

I though you ghost just float only can lost weight Liao

 

[EdenHazard]

No it is not

 

[nyvrem]

Diet is the most important form of weight loss

 

[cheongmanz]

Nope .

 

[usarmy]

Dieting alone can control cholesterol pretty much already... Eat green. 10k walk + dieting confirm weight loss, been there, done that. Only issue is taking longer time.

studies have shown brisk walking above 7km per day is more effective than other cardio

basically by walking just keep ur heart rate in a certain zone for a certain amount of time

e.g. 110-120bpm for 60 minutes
