Walking day: 7,378 total steps · 3,378 added · 30.0 min · 103 active / 140 gross kcal.
Your goal is not reached within your 30.0-minute time budget. It needs 35.5 extra walking minutes per walking day — 5.5 more than you have. This plan adds only the steps that fit your available time.
On days without planned walks, this model keeps your usual 4,000 steps; your 8,000-step daily goal is not reached on those days.

Your gradual build-up
Only walking time per walking day changes, in equal increments between your chosen starting time and the planned 30.0 minutes. Walking days stay fixed at 5 per week; pace, weight, step length and baseline steps stay unchanged. Added steps, distance and energy follow from that time. Choosing more weeks changes the size of the time increments, not the final goal.
This is your chosen schedule, not an individually recommended medical progression rate. Repeat a week or reduce time when needed.
| Week | Min / day | Total steps / week | Active kcal / week |

| 1 | 10.0 | 33,631 | 172 |
| 2 | 16.7 | 37,384 | 286 |
| 3 | 23.3 | 41,138 | 400 |

Assumptions & sources
Planned walks: level, firm ground at 5 km/h (3.11 mph), 3.8 MET; step length 74.0 cm (29.1 in). Adult reference ages 19–59. Existing daily steps can have different intensities and are not assigned calories or walking time.
Gross kcal = MET × 3.5 × weight (kg) ÷ 200 × minutes. Active kcal subtracts one resting MET for the same time; it is energy above rest, not a proven calorie deficit relative to your usual routine.
All values are estimates, with totals calculated before rounding. Baseline activity is assumed to continue and planned walks are additional. Appetite, diet, compensation and individual metabolism affect weight change; no weight-loss amount or timeline is predicted.
