What happens to your body if you walk 30 minutes every day after 60

What happens to your body when you walk 30 minutes every day after 60? The answer is more powerful than most people realise — and it starts on Day 1. In this video, we walk you through the science, stage by stage: what changes in your mood, blood sugar and sleep in the first week, how your heart adapts by week four, what happens to your joints and brain by month three, and why one year of consistent walking can reduce your risk of dementia, heart disease and falls by up to 40%. This isn't general advice. Every stage is backed by peer-reviewed research — including studies from Harvard, JAMA, and the University of Pittsburgh. Whether you have bad knees, low energy, or you just haven't found the motivation yet — this video is for you.
