A study shows that walking longer at a steady pace for at least 10-15 minutes provides significant heart health benefits, even if total step count is low. Short, continuous walks are more effective than multiple brief strolls, and incorporating brisk or incline walking can further enhance health outcomes. Consistency and making walking a habit are key.
