This week I’m testing whether walking really is the closest thing we have to a magic pill - and whether I can get my steps up without becoming the sort of person pacing the kitchen at 10pm to hit 10,000.

I’m trying:

• Japanese interval walking

• hot girl walks

• walking/moving after meals

• using SteppIn app to earn screen time through steps

• taking antihistamines so pollen can stop ruining my life

Also: why 10,000 steps may be a marketing myth, why walking helps mood, and whether we’ve lost the plot with step counts.
