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.



Location of the video is the Pixhaier Lake near Clausthal-Zellerfeld in the Harz Mountain Range. The spider webs are almost invisible throughout the day. Only the morning dew reveals their abundance for a short time.



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!
