WALK AND BE FIT

According to me, the most natural and popular form of exercise is walking, and the benefits that one reaps from this form of exercise is numerous. The best method to be followed is brisk walking- wherein one does not get so breathless{ should be be able to maintain a conversatin} and nor would I call it as strolling. A 30 minute to 1 hour would be great especially as it can reduce the risk of many diseases such as heart attack, lowers blood pressure,improves blood circulation and psoture, helps prevent osteporosis, reduces the risk of cancer of the colon and also reduces anxiety, tension nd improves ones mood.

Walking is something that can be done with the young and the old. Since walking strengthens the bones one is less likely to fall and suffer any injuries such as hip farctures, as well as there is better movement of the joints and muscles. One thing that encouraged me most about what I read few days back was that women who split their 30 minute walking into three 10-minute walks lost more weight and a greater decrease in waist size. The best thing about walking is that fat is burnt up instead of sugar, which helps in resucing weight. If you are ill, you need to consult your doctor who will surely tell you to walk first at very gentle pace, however later you can increase your distance and pace.

It is important for parents to show excitement to their kids about the prospects of walking especially to those children who are obese and inactive only watching TV and playing games on computers. Wether you want to keep fit, control your weight or improve your general health, walking can help. By making walking your daily routine, you can stay away from many physical and emotional illnesses. It is not late even now especially for those who have'nt started, beleive me. Its better late than never even if you are 40 or 60 instead of being a couch potato begin walking and make it your daily routine and see how you reap the benefit.
