You've gotta walk it out! Don't think walking is as effective as running, jogging or high intensity interval training?

​Here are just some of the well known health benefits associated with walking:
walking helps body and circulation

  • Lowers Your Risks of Heart Disease: Heart disease is one of the leading causes of premature death. The good news is it's preventable by caring for the health of your heart. And the best way to do this is to get in at least half an hour of exercise a day. No need to hit the bike or the treadmill. A brisk walk around the neighborhood will do.

  • Boosts Blood Flow/Circulation: Poor circulation can lead to a number of health problems, but walking has been known to give blood flow the boost it needs. The faster you walk, the higher your heart rate will get.

  • Improves the Mood, Relieves Stress: Exercise releases endorphins, which are brain signals that make us feel happy. This is why a quick walk is typically recommended for those dealing with stressful situations and life circumstances.​
