How long does it take for your legs to get used to walking.

Im an overweight college student but been hitting the gym 2 times a week for a month straight so far. Only 2 times a week because I do a lot of walking (whats considered alot of walking for me since im not really used to it).

So far I get almost 20k steps a week. I know that doesn’t sound like a lot, but considering I never moved around much before this I think it is. Long story short. I want to start walking more. Like 10k steps a day, but my legs get tired so easily and I end up getting shin splints. Obviously this is because my body isn’t used to all this but its been a month and I still haven’t felt any improvement. Any suggestions on how I can stop getting shin splints and increase how much longer I can walk? Just because my legs start hurting doesn’t mean I stop walking cause I still have to get to class, so I thought pushing my limits would help but apparently not.
