There is one simple activity that can have an immediate positive effect on your health: walking. Whether you are elderly, an elite athlete, or even sick; walking is an activity that everyone should participate in. Walking is a whole body exercise that benefits your leg muscles, but also your upper body, your heart and lungs.
The following is a list of the positive effects of going for a single 15 minute walk.
Before beginning a walking program, consult a health care professional to make sure you are fit for walking and raising your heart rate. It is a good idea to start slowly, wear comfortable shoes, and start a program with a partner. Including a walking program at work is easy: do small meetings, lunch breaks or coffee breaks while walking outside. For any more ideas beginning a walking program, ask our professionals for advice.
