Walking Every Day is Very Good for Your Health

August 14, 2008 by Health Doctor 

We’re less active than ever before and obesity rates are higher than ever. Seven in ten adults in the U.S. aren’t regularly active, according to the President’s Council on Physical Fitness.  A great way to look and feel better is to walk. Walking is good for people of all ages. It helps you lose weight and keep weight off, and keeps your muscles toned.

You can make walking a lifetime habit by starting with this simple plan: Walk 10 minutes a day this week. Then gradually work up to 30 minutes a day 4 days or more a week. For every mile that you walk, you burn 95-100 calories. You can wear a pedometer or step-counter when you walk. It’s a great motivator and an easy way to track your distance. They’re available at most sporting goods stores.
