| Walk Your Way To Health |
  |
Walk, run, swim, cycle, hike,
weight-train, which is the best for your health? Which one will give
you the best, most immediate results in terms of aerobic fitness,
muscular fitness and flexibility? Here’s some thoughts to consider; A
brisk walk for 30-60 minutes can produce a deficit of as much as 300 to
400 calories depending on your current level of fitness. Making that
same walk just 3 or 4 times a week over the course of a year could
result in a weight loss of 16 pounds.
That
assumes you don’t change your current diet. Walking impacts the three
major areas of health and fitness; aerobic fitness, muscular strength
and flexibility. Not many other activities hit all three at such a
consistent level as walking. Let’s get personal. In November and
December of 2003, while on an extended visit to Michigan, I decided to
walk each day. It gave me the opportunity to get out and see the town
and meet the people. And I felt fantastic to boot!
I’m not saying
that everyone will get the same results that I did, but if you got even
a quarter of the results in 60 days, you’d be pretty happy wouldn’t you?
Walking
is definitely not a myth and I’m not sure it’s a miracle either, but it
sure does rank right up there as one of the best all around exercises
of all time!
Always consult a physician before beginning any
exercise program. If you would like to learn more about walking and
