After promoting walking as a primary form of exercise for 27 years, I still think it is pretty amazing that we can get so much out of something so simple…and often taken for granted.
All walking benefits your body. Whether you are a racewalker or just casually stroll along, it lifts your spirits and lowers your weight. Some of us like to hike mountains while for others a walk in the neighborhood will suffice. However you walk, fast or slow, many miles or can only squeeze in ten minutes, it is all good with these amazing benefits of walking:
Weight Control
