Daily movement can be transformed into a simple yet highly effective way to improve your health. The ‘6-6-6 rule’ is an exercise program based on walking, designed to fit even the busiest schedules. According to personal trainer Mike Julom and exercise physiologist Dr. Milica McDowell, the program includes: 6 minutes of warm-up, 60 minutes of brisk walking, and 6 minutes of cool-down. Whether done at 6 a.m. or 6 p.m., this routine enhances cardiovascular health, aids in fat loss, reduces joint stress, and offers mental health benefits. By achieving 150 minutes of exercise per week as recommended by the CDC, overall energy, endurance, and bone health are significantly improved. This program stands out due to its simplicity and adaptability, making it suitable for beginners and experienced exercisers alike.
