But recently on TikTok some people are making their walks even longer, beyond 10 thousand steps. It seems that this has become a fun challenge that is being documented virtually through videos on TikTok and is being liked by millions of people. The first was a viral video that was created by @servedbysara, who shared her long walk of 22 kilometers, while other people followed her to overcome this limit, up to 22 kilometers.
For anyone struggling to get 10,000 steps a day, these long-distance walks may seem incomprehensible at first, but they're not impossible.
The benefits of long walks
Each creator of these TikTok videos has their own motivational factor in mind as they head out for a long walk. The general consensus seems to be that it's a fun challenge and an adventurous way to pursue and why not join you.
According to Alayna Curry, a women's fitness specialist, the average person walks about two miles or three kilometers a day, so 14 miles or 22 kilometers goes beyond expectations. "Walking a long distance, especially if it's outside in nature, is not just fantastic for your physical health, but also for your mental health," she says.
How to walk 22 kilometers?
Getting ready starts with a pair of comfortable sneakers, water, snacks, and a watch that measures steps and is ready to go. The idea is good, but the preparation is everything. To stay safe, it is suggested that you plan hikes in areas where you are aware of the circumstances, environment, etc. For more energy, a hearty meal before you go is what you need!
