Simple, energising, free and easy on your joints, walking is a fantastic way to get moving and increase the physical activity in your daily routine. When you wake up in the morning, exercise may not be at the top of your priority list. But starting your day with a walk, whether it be around your local park, beach or to the local café, can provide your mind and body with a number of health benefits.Walking is a great way to improve or maintain your overall health. Just 30 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.Physical activity does not have to be vigorous or done for long periods in order to improve your health. A 2007 study of inactive women found that even a low level of exercise – around 75 minutes per week – improved their fitness levels significantly, when compared to a non-exercising group.
