How ‘Micro-Walks’ Can Be A Good Alternative To Longer Walks

How ‘Micro-Walks’ Can Be A Good Alternative To Longer Walks

Taking multiple short walks throughout the day may be more beneficial than longer walks, according to a recent study. Micro-walks, defined as walking for no more than 10 to 30 seconds followed by a break or rest, could be a game-changer in how we approach physical activity.

Walking has long been touted as a simple and effective way to improve health, both physically and mentally. The recommended 10,000 steps per day threshold has been a standard measure for many, but some argue that this number was arbitrarily set. The key may be to focus on the total number of steps taken each day, rather than a specific target.

One of the major advantages of micro-walks is their ease of incorporation into daily routines. Unlike longer walks, which may require planning and time commitment, micro-walks can be done spontaneously and integrated seamlessly into daily activities. Whether it’s taking a few laps around the office or combining walking with another task, such as talking on the phone, micro-walks offer a convenient way to increase physical activity.

In addition to convenience, there is evidence to suggest that shorter walks may actually burn more energy per unit time than longer walks. A study published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B found that participants burned 20 to 60% more oxygen per unit time during 30-second walks compared to longer walks. This inefficiency in energy utilization could be beneficial for burning calories and improving overall fitness.

For individuals with injuries or health conditions that limit their ability to engage in longer walks, micro-walks offer a viable alternative. By breaking up physical activity into shorter bouts, individuals can gradually build up endurance and strength without risking further injury.

Ultimately, the key is to find a walking routine that works best for you. Whether it’s through multiple micro-walks throughout the day or fewer longer walks, the goal is to stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle. So next time you’re considering a walk, think about incorporating some micro-walks into your routine for a change.
