I’d like to begin walking for exercise. Where should I start?

A great way to begin is by walking for five minutes in one direction, then turning around and walking five minutes back. Once that 10-minute walk starts to feel easy, bump it up to six minutes out and six minutes back. Try to increase your total walking time or distance by no more than 10% each week to help prevent injury and build endurance safely.
