How many days does it take to change a walking habit?

Dr. David Escobar answered

6 Weeks: Any habit change generally takes about 6 weeks to really set-in. Give yourself a set goal everyday (write it down) and stick to it. After you hit 6 weeks, you'll likely be settled into your new (healthy) habit!
