Walking Progress Planner for Adults 50+

What it does

Tell us a comfortable walk length and how many days a week you can walk. We build a gradual plan toward the weekly amount guidelines advise: at least 150 minutes of moderate activity. Every fourth week holds steady, and you can repeat any week.

What you could do now without strain, from 5 to 90.
Guidelines advise at least 150 minutes of moderate activity a week.

Before you start

A slow build is the smart build. Any amount of walking counts toward your week, so there is no wrong place to begin. The weekly goal comes from the guidelines; the pace of adding time is our own gentle suggestion. Walk at a pace where you can talk but not sing, and slow down if you cannot talk at all. Stop and get medical advice for chest pain, unusual breathlessness or dizziness.
