Your starting point

Answer the questions and we'll suggest a conservative starting weight, your first walk and how to build up over four weeks.

How we work it out

We start from a small share of your body weight, adjust for your fitness and age, and keep every first-month suggestion well under 10% of your body weight. If you tick any health condition, we suggest talking to your doctor or a physical therapist first.
