Throw out everything you think you know about walking

Still abiding by the old 10,000 steps a day rule? Well, Sydney-based celebrity trainer and founder of The Upbeat Libby Babet says that it’s when you surpass the 12,000 steps a day mark that you really start to see change. And not just physical, but mental too. If this sounds a bridge too far, it’s about balance so scaling back on your high intensity workouts is part of the big picture too.  You can find Libby on Instagram @libbybabet, or online via The Upbeat here.  You can join the conversation, or drop us a question, via the Healthy-ish Australia Facebook page, here.
