"Another day, another number-themed walking trend that instantly feels inspiring. This time, it's all called the "6-6-6 challenge," which encourages you to walk for 60 minutes a day, six times a week, with a six-minute warm-up and cooldown - hence the 6-6-6. For good measure, you can also aim to walk at 6 a.m. or 6 p.m. When a fitness trend has an easy-to-follow structure like this one, it often makes it simpler to stick to and remember."
"While it's really not that strange to take a daily walk, the timing, length, and consistency are what set this trend apart. Instead of wishing you could squeeze in a quick walk after work, the 6-6-6 method reminds you to prioritize a lengthier stroll regularly. According to Smith, the main goal of the 6-6-6 method is to consistently move your body."
"There are so many benefits to doing the 6-6-6 trend. As you stroll outside for 60 minutes, you build up your cardiovascular endurance, strengthen your muscles, and shake off whatever's got you down. "This particular method is beneficial as the length of the workout will build stamina, and the timing will improve your mood through the release of endorphins at the start or end of the day," says Lannay Dale-Tooze, a qualified L3 personal trainer with Gymshark."
The 6-6-6 challenge prescribes walking 60 minutes per day, six days a week, with six-minute warm-up and cooldown segments. The routine can be scheduled at 6 a.m. or 6 p.m. to create an easy-to-remember habit that supports adherence. The method prioritizes timing, duration, and consistency rather than high intensity, classifying it as low-intensity steady state (LISS) exercise. Regular 60-minute walks develop cardiovascular endurance, strengthen muscles, and trigger endorphin release to boost mood. Fitness professionals emphasize that attaching movement to a memorable structure increases the likelihood of maintaining regular activity.
