Longer walks beat shorter strolls for heart health

If your fitness routine consists of short strolls between the desk and the coffee pot, there’s good news — and better advice. A new study finds that one longer, uninterrupted walk each day — about 15 minutes or 1,500 steps — can do far more for your heart than scattering short bursts throughout the day. Researchers say it’s not just how much you walk, but how you walk that matters. A steady, sustained pace gives your heart the workout it needs, even if you don’t hit 10,000 steps.
