What you need
Steps
Clear a flat space about 2 by 2 metres. Put on supportive shoes, keep water within reach and make sure you can see the screen from where you stand.
Press play and start marching on the spot for the first couple of minutes. Let your arms swing naturally and keep the pace relaxed.
Follow the on-screen moves: step forward and back, step side to side, and add knee lifts or arm pumps when you feel ready.
Keep every move low impact, with one foot staying on the floor at all times. There is no jumping, so it stays quiet and easy on the knees.
Match the pace of the Celtic music but stay at a level where you could still talk in short sentences. Slow down if you are gasping.
Aim for the full 20 minutes of walking. If you are new to exercise, do the first 10 minutes and stop there, then build up over a few weeks.
Stay on for the cool-down at the 20 minute mark. Hold each stretch for about 20 to 30 seconds and breathe out as you settle into it.
Sip water afterwards. The routine covers roughly 2,000 steps, so note your total and try to add it to your daily count.
Tips and common mistakes
Wear shoes rather than walking in socks, especially on hard floors, to protect your feet and ankles.
Keep your steps small and controlled. Long strides will not burn more calories and can strain your shins.
Stop and rest if you feel dizzy, short of breath or get joint pain, and check with a doctor first if you have a heart or joint condition.
Repeat the workout three to five times a week to build a steady habit.
Questions
Do I need any equipment for this walking workout?
No. You only need floor space and comfortable shoes. The whole routine is done standing in one spot, with no weights, bands or treadmill.
How many steps is the 20 minute workout?
The routine is built to cover about 2,000 steps in the 20 minutes of walking, before the cool-down stretches.
Can a complete beginner do this?
Yes. Every move is low impact with no jumping, and you can walk at your own pace. Start with 10 minutes and add a few minutes each week.
