Walking is low-risk and easy to start. It can help keep you fit and reduce your risk of serious diseases, like heart disease, stroke, diabetes and more.
A regular walking program can also:
Increase your energy and stamina
Boost “couch potato” bone strength
“American Heart Association recommends that adults get 150 minutes or more of moderate-intensity physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity each week. Even short, 10-minute activity sessions (or walks) can be added up over the week to reach this goal.
For those who have high blood pressure or cholestrol, try to aim for 40-minute sessions of moderate to vigorous activity 3 to 4 times a week. You could do this by walking 2 miles briskly (about 4 miles/hr.). If that’s too fast, choose a more comfortable pace.”
As Mr. Pedometer, I try to encourage lifestyle choices that sustain or promote wellness. Walking is easy, inexpensive, and pleasurable, particularly when done in the out-of-doors with a walking buddy.  The health benefits listed above make it a “BIG DEAL” indeed.
