HEALTH BENEFITS OF WALKING

Some health benefits of walking.

One of the most underrated sports and form of exercise is walking. It is so neglected that some people have forgotten the health and general well being benefits it provides us with.

These days we see most people in cars, bikes, bicycles and even other forms of transportation and neglecting the various benefits attached to walking.

Some of these benefits include:

IMPROVING OUR MOOD :

Ever felt sad, confused, bad and didn’t want to talk to anyone about it or didn’t know what to do?, just take a walk. Walking is a great way to brighten up, be it long or short walks just walk, see places, people, colours and just watch that bad mood go away and frown turn upside down.

LOOSE WEIGHT :

Too tired to exercise or too busy to complete or even start a workout session?, then this is your solution. Walking is a good and tested way to burn calories and slim down(I can testify to this). Studies also show that with 30mins of walk, 150 or more calories are being burnt. Now imagine doing this for longer and on a daily basis, you would be getting that dream body in no time.

STRENGTHENS MUSCLES :

This is actually self explanatory, walking helps strengthen your muscles making them stronger and more durable. Who wouldn’t want stronger and healthier muscles for mobility and posture.

EASE PAINS :

For those waist pains, knee aches and also headaches and migraines and general joint pains, walking is really helpful for taking care of these. Walking, be it long or short distances can help ease those pains and provide relief for you.

There are so many other benefits of walking, so get up and take a walk. It doesn’t matter the time, morning or evening make that decision to add walking to your daily routine and follow it.
