More walking has become a regular part of my exercise recently. As I haven’t been able to run as far due to injury, I have made sure that walking ah become a part of my daily routine. I now have a regular walk over lunchtime at work, and I make sure that I block 30 minutes of walking into my calendar. It is a great way to get exercise and offload stress.
Walking is a great way to improve or maintain your overall health. Thirty minutes every day can increase cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones, reduce excess body fat, and boost muscle power and endurance. It can also reduce your risk of developing conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and some cancers. Unlike some other forms of exercise, walking is free and doesn’t require any special equipment or training.
I would encourage anyone to make walking a regular part of their day, irrespective of how far you might walk.
