Walking over 3 miles an hour is classed as moderate exercise. 2.5 hours every week, so most experts suggest 30 minutes a day, five days a week or if you prefer, 20 minutes every day. If you can manage 4.5 miles per hour or uphill, thats vigorous exercise similar to light running or cycling. At this intensity, an hour and fifteen minutes a week is sufficient.
In 1 hour Men age 17-25 should be able to walk about 7 miles. Men 25-35 should manage about 6.7 miles. Women in the 17-21 age range, comfortably reach 6.9 miles with Women 25-35 achieving 6.6 miles.
Over 35s Men over 35 on average walk roughly 6.5 miles in an hour. Women over 35 a little less, 6.3 miles.
Over 60s Men over 60, on average walk 6.2 miles in an hour while Women over 60 walk 6.1 miles.
Safety It goes without saying, consult your doctor before starting any exercise program especially as you get older, if you have health concerns or have not had a recent check up.
