The Joy of Walking
by Jack Scagnetti
|
Walking, which is something most people can do, is one of the finest exercises for relaxation and health. It is highly recommended as a means of attaining physical fitness.
Individuals in good physical condition can walk at a brisk pace. It is not only good for exercising and toning muscles but it is a valuable aid to cardiovascular fitness. It strengthens the heart and lungs, helps to lower blood pressure, and decreases cholesterol and triglycerides associated with coronary disease. When walking is done properly and is associated with proper diet, it can help reduce weight, enabling one to make the best use of fats and sugars (carbohydrates).
While walking is admittedly less effective on a time basis than jogging or running, you are exercising the same muscles when you walk, especially if you swing your arms. All you have to do is walk perhaps three times as long as you would jog to gain mutual fitness benefits.
