Renowned for his groundbreaking financial advice, Martin Lewis, aged 53, has revealed his personal fitness routine, having accomplished an impressive 9,532,571 steps in 2025. This averages out to about 26,000 steps per day, surpassing the commonly recommended daily goal of 10,000 steps. Lewis attributed his success to a simple yet effective rule – “if I’m talking, I’m walking.” He shared that he incorporates walking into his daily activities, such as making phone calls or attending meetings.
Notably, despite his dedication to walking, health experts from the NHS emphasize that one does not need to walk for extended periods to reap the benefits of this low-impact exercise. Even a brisk 10-minute walk daily can improve stamina, burn calories, and potentially enhance heart health. Professor Claire Steves from King’s College London further highlighted that just 45 minutes of walking three times a week could have positive effects on brain health.
The NHS advises Brits to include brisk walks in their daily routines, aiming to walk at a pace of around three miles per hour. For those unsure of their walking speed, the free Active 10 app provides helpful suggestions for increasing speed. Additionally, individuals are encouraged to gradually increase walking distance if they are not very active. For those with joint issues, swimming is recommended as it can support joints and help strengthen muscles.
