Beginner Walking Plan for Seniors

A beginner walking plan should start with a distance you can repeat. The first goal is habit, not speed.

Week One

• 5-10 minutes
• flat route
• comfortable pace
• rest as needed

Build Slowly

Add a few minutes only when the current walk feels manageable. If you have medical concerns, ask a qualified professional before changing your activity routine.
