No use

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.

yea. but i do see some people wearing whole family's 3-4 fitbit or wat walking around and shaking their hands lol

 

[orpisia]

If you are overweight to begin with, then walking is a good form exercise without unnecessary stress on your knees and ankles.

Walk longer and further as you progress and over time, weight loss and cholesterol control will be a reality

I am underweight. But my cholesterol levels is unhealthy level. All doc said genetic but I tried to control my diet (no fried food, no snacks , no pastries , no cream n dressing, no processed food). I usually have avocados as breakfast n natto as dinner with my rice. This diet has been for years as I worry my blood has plaque.

However I diligently brisk walking everyday for at least 3 months. Cholesterol really drops fast.

Walk fast is good, can burn more fats and train abit of cardio.

Better than none

 

[Sephirot]

10k is ok but do IWT walking is better.

 

[coolad74]

below 60yo walking is useless, it is not intense enuff to trigger fat burn

u need at least fast brisk walking to work

best is HIIT, walk 3mins, sprint 3mins… x 5times … confirm work wonders

 

[ahnyaahnya]

Comparison between no exercise, 10k steps and their recommended walking/running

So it's HIIT
