WALKING FOR GOOD HEALTH

[Health Benefits of Walking]

Some of the benefits include:

• Increased cardiovascular and pulmonary (heart and lung) fitness.

• Reduced risk of heart disease and stroke.

• Improved management of conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, joint and muscular pain or stiffness, and diabetes.


Summary

Walking for 30 minutes a day or more on most days of the week is a great way to improve or maintain your overall health.

If you can’t manage 30 minutes a day, remember ‘even a little is good, but more is better’.

Walking with others can turn exercise into an enjoyable social occasion.

See your doctor for a medical check-up before embarking on any new fitness program, particularly if you are aged over 40 years, are overweight or haven’t exercised in a long time.
