A Walk Extends Life

So many good reasons to walk every day
If you still don't understand the reason or reasons that should push you to take a walk, here are some more tips:- It could even be fun, perhaps chatting with your best friend or neighbor
- It is a cardiovascular exercise that allows you to activate many muscles in the legs, trunk and also in the arms; do not downgrade walking as a minor activity because it does not require particular efforts, constancy will be your best ally
- If you've been inactive for a long time, a healthy daily walk will be the best way to restore balance between bones, muscles and breath; later you can also choose whether to switch to some more intense activity
- You can also walk to go to work or to go to the supermarket; it does not require any registration, equipment or clothing costs, it is completely free!
A few tips to get the most out of your time
Perhaps at this point you will have understood that walking is a simple activity that does not require particular physical or financial effort... but now your feasibility study will have stopped, if only for the 'lack of time' issue. Well, today's stressful life doesn't actually allow us to dedicate too much time to ourselves, but with a few more suggestions, you can find your topical moments:- Take advantage of the breaks to go for a walk, perhaps even using a pedometer (there are numerous apps for smartphones and more technical watches), when you take the dog to do his business, walk the baby in the stroller, to go get yourself a coffee; choose a distant bar even for the lunch break, so you will be forced to walk before and after the meal, and also at a fast pace so as not to be late
- When you're talking on the phone, walk around, move around, don't stand still; clean the house well and thoroughly, do gardening… all activities that force you to move and walk; you could also buy a treadmill to use as little as 15 minutes each day
- Set yourself weekly goals to achieve, such as climbing stairs 10 or 20 times, etc. etc.
Various types of walking
Depending on your pace, your walk takes on different 'meanings'. Indeed we have:- The leisure walk, or rather the classic walk at a slow pace where you can converse without any problems or out of breath (better than nothing, but it does not bring great benefits)
- The brisk walk, with an effort equal to 60% and where the conversation becomes complicated due to out of breath (recommended for those who have been stationary for a long time)
- Brisk walking, with an effort equal to 70-80%, where it is almost impossible to speak (suitable either at a later time or for those who already practice physical activity and are of normal weight)
- The very fast walk, where you don't talk and you stay focused, the effort is considerable, and usually also includes some ups and downs (for a few, but not impossible to do with a little training)
