A simple 8-week walking plan for people 60 and over who want to walk further and more comfortably.

• Start wherever you are, even if that’s 5 to 10 minutes
• Add a minute or two each week, never more
• Short leg-strength moves that make walking easier
• “Brisk minutes” from week 5 to build fitness safely
• Shoes, routes, pace, hills and bad-weather options
• A weekly rhythm for keeping it up after week 8

What you get: 8 lessons, including a start-here lesson to find your starting time, four 2-week plans, a walking technique and strength move guide, a troubleshooting FAQ (sore shins, knees on hills, blisters, breathlessness), and a printable walking log.

Format: written, step-by-step lessons (no video). New lessons unlock every 14 days.

General fitness education, not medical advice. Check with your doctor before increasing your activity, especially if you have heart or breathing conditions, or get leg pain when walking.
