- The “6-6-6” walking method, a new social media trend, involves brisk walking for an hour six days a week, starting at 6 a.m. or 6 p.m., with a six-minute warm-up and cool-down.
- This technique offers numerous health benefits, including a reduced risk of abnormal heart rhythms, improved immune health, eased joint pain, and a lower risk of certain cancers.
- Unlike previous recommendations, new research suggests that only 7,000 steps a day can significantly reduce the risk of chronic disease, cognitive decline, and death.
- For weight loss, the 6-6-6 method should be combined with a healthy diet, and individuals may need to walk for longer durations, such as 50 minutes four days a week.
- The method's appeal lies in its clear, measurable goals and flexibility, with experts emphasizing that consistency in walking is more important than the exact time of day.
