00:00Struggling with back pain?
00:02Walking just a bit more each day might be the fix you've been missing.
00:05Forget 10,000 steps a day.
00:07New research shows time on your feet matters more than step count when it comes to beating chronic lower back pain.
00:13A massive study of over 11,000 people revealed this.
00:17Walk for over 100 minutes a day, and you could cut your risk by 23%.
00:21That's compared to people who walk 78 minutes or less daily.
00:25And while walking faster helped a little, walking longer had the biggest impact.
00:29Why does this matter?
00:31Because chronic lower back pain affects millions.
00:34And in the UK alone, it's the second biggest reason people are out of work.
00:38The researchers say it's time we treat walking like a public health strategy.
00:42Whether you're 25 or 65, walking 100 minutes a day might be your simple, no-cost solution to long-term pain.
00:50And the best part? The benefits level off around 100 minutes.
00:54No need to overdo it.
00:55So next time you walk, don't count steps. Count minutes.
00:59Your back might thank you.
