Walking is a great form of exercise. It burns calories to help you lose
or maintain weight (320 calories per hour for a 150 pound person at an
easy 3 mile an hour pace). It increases your cardiovascular fitness
and helps your lung capacity. Walking is a weight-bearing activity, so
it helps build bone mass without the wear and tear on your joints of
some other physical activities. It's not expensive, and it doesn't
require lots of fancy equipment (a good pair of walking shoes is all
you really need).
In short, walking is the perfect part of any plan to lose weight, get
more fit, and have an active lifestyle. (Need more convincing? Visit
