At the peak of my weight-loss journey last year, my coach suggested I amp up my average daily step count to 18,000 per day nearly double the generally accepted normal human goal of 10,000. It wasn t easy, but I managed to do it, and that bump helped break through a plateau I d been sitting at for months. Turns out, low-impact steady state cardio like walking is great for fat loss. You know what else taking 18,000 steps a day is great for? Churning through audio programming like podcasts and audiobooks. And if you re looking for something new to accompany you on a many-hour trek through the mountains, across the plains, or on a treadmill to nowhere, there s a brand new type of podcast to encourage you along the way. Today, Apple announced the launch of Time to Walk, part of its Fitness+ programming.
