Can Walking More Really Help You Live Longer?
Yes, and the science backs it up. According to a growing body of research increasing your daily step count is linked to a longer, healthier life. A recent feature in Women’s health highlights that even a small amount of walking each day can reduce the risk of heart disease, support mental clarity, and promote healthy aging. It’s not about perfection, it’s about movement.
At Shred415, we believe every step counts. Whether you walk on the treads, jog, or run, our classes help you hit those goals in an environment that’s challenging, fun, and totally customizable.
How Many Steps Should You Aim For?
While 10 000 steps is a well-known benchmark, studies now show benefits start at much lower counts. Consistently hitting 6000 to 8000 steps per day can offer serious cardiovascular and longevity benefits. The key is moving with intention and consistency, exactly what our classes are designed to help you do.
By including walk-friendly treadmill intervals in every Shred415 class, we make it easy for anyone to build steps into their schedule. Yes, walking counts, and we celebrate that.
Can Shred415 Help You Reach Your Step Goals?
Absolutely. Every class at Shred415 includes a cardio section on the treads, and walking is always an option. Whether you’re recovering, starting fresh, or just prefer a lower-impact approach, walking during class can still get your heart pumping and help you rack up steps in a supportive, energizing space.
