Is the following sentence correct and natural?

My legs were broken down with kept walking more than 10 hours a day.
 
We don't say legs or body parts break down; we say machines break down.
You could say:
I couldn't walk anymore after continuously walking for more than 10 hours a day.
 
I think tedmc has got to the crux of what you're trying to say but your sentence doesn't make sense and it isn't grammatical.

My legs were broken down ❌
My legs hurt/My legs were painful ✅

with kept walking ❌
because I had been walking ✅
after walking ✅

I think you need to give us some more context. Why had you been walking for more than ten hours a day? For how many days had you been doing that?
