It\u2019s a subconscious activity we do without ever having to think about it as it\u2019s so ingrained into our day-to-day lives. Due to technological advancements and how our societies are set up, many of us don\u2019t get to walk as much as we used to, which is something we ought to change. Here are some health-related reasons to encourage you to do a bit more walking in your everyday life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Collage-Walking-3-1.png\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Reduce_Stress_and_Improve_Your_Mood\"><\/span><b>Can Reduce Stress and Improve Your Mood<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, stress is a part of everyday life. In most cases, stressful situations pass after a short while and we can all go back to normal. However, in other cases, the stress lasts for a while and becomes chronic stress, a condition that has been linked to issues such as brain function complications, memory loss, reduced cognition and learning ability, impaired immune function, and gastrointestinal complications.

In one study published in 2018, researchers found that when students who were stressed from studying during their exam period walked in nature, their cortisol levels were lower and their moods improved significantly (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1177\/0013916518800798\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In another study published in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">researchers looking at the autonomic nervous system responses of test subjects walking in nature found this activity to help reduce their negative moods and increase their positive mood parameters (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8835652\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

However, if you want to increase your total calories burned, increasing your pace could be the answer you\u2019re looking for. A faster pace means you have to use more energy, which translates to more calorie burning. This ultimately means faster weight loss when combined with proper eating habits. You could also alternate between fast and slow-paced walking. Perhaps you start off fast and then start to get tired, so you slow things down. This is a great way to gradually increase your walking pace over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><strong>Read more: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/28-day-indoor-walking-weight-loss-challenge\/\">The 28-Day Indoor Walking Weight Loss Challenge Explained<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Walk_for_Longer_Periods\"><\/span><b>Walk for Longer Periods<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If walking faster is out of the question due to health or joint issues, then walking for longer is what you may need.

Research has shown that by walking the popular 10,000 steps a day, you\u2019ll be able to lose weight and improve your mental health (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5015672\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">24<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). If you can go above 10k steps a day, even better &#8211; just make sure not to overdo it. However, if your daily step average is well below 10k, you should aim for a goal that suits your individual abilities. Say you typically walk 3k steps in a day, try to stretch it out to 5k as the jump from 3k to 5k is far less than 3k to 10k. This can help make your walking plan feel much more attainable and help you stay consistent with it.\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Walking_Plan_To_Lose_Weight\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Collage-Walking-2-1.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you wish to cinch your waist, tone up your bat wings, blast away the muffin top \u2013 our fitness app was created to cater to all your needs! <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2328&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Walking_Plan_To_Lose_Weight\">BetterMe won\u2019t give excess weight a chance!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Ultimate_BetterMe_Walking_Plan_to_Lose_Weight\"><\/span><b>The Ultimate BetterMe Walking Plan to Lose Weight<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can interchange the days as you wish and break the walks into smaller parts if you don\u2019t have enough time for a long one.
