Take a break from sitting and walk a bit! Power walk, mount your treadmill, elliptical- or crosstrainer to activate your body, and relax with this unintrusive virtual hike through nature. 5 minutes long, 600 steps, recorded at a constant cadence of 120 steps per minute, in 4k/UHD resolution. Perfect to silence that inactivity alert of your fitness tracker.



The trail can be found at the foot of the Wurmberg hill, next to the historic border between East- and West-Germany, in the Harz Mountain Range in germany. An accumulation of ferns like this is rather unusual for the area.



You prefer a run over a brisk walk? Pause the video at the beginning and use the advanced settings of the youtube-videoplayer to change the video speed in 5% increments, with each increment adding another six steps per minute.

Normal speed is a brisk walk.
110% speed is great for power walking.
135% and more is a good choice for a virtual trail run.


If you liked the video make sure to subscribe. "5-Minute-Walk-A-Bit" is a new concept for this channel to motivate you to take small breaks on days with prolonged sitting sessions. There are also a number of longer walks available, to accompany you for longer training sessions.


Thanks for watching, and stay healthy!
