Small habits can really turn your life around. The benefits of walking include:
- Walking is the king of cardio. Meaning you’re less likely to experience a heart attack. Quite a start, right?
- Walking strengthens and lubricates your joints.
- Walking gives an energy boost! Walking exercises increase oxygen intake and flow through the body.
- Walking is like natural medicine.
- Walking can improve your memory. Walk for at least two times a week, and you won’t forget your PIN!
30 minutes of walking a day are enough to:
- Reduce body fat
- Improve cardiovascular and pulmonary (heart and lung) fitness
- Reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke
- Improve management of conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, joint and muscular pain or stiffness, and diabetes
- Strengthen bones and improve balance
- Increase muscle strength and endurance
The list goes on for a while!
