Walking, the secret of standing in shape!

Walking is the secret to staying in shape even without special athletic inclinations.

You don't need to be young to walk or be weak. Anyone, or almost everyone can do that.

According to experts, this behavior, if put into practice daily at a certain amount, has excellent results in people's health, such as prevention and improved health. But how long must we walk in order for this to have health effects?

The purpose of keeping the doctor away may be 10,000 steps a day. Regarding walking, Professor Daniela Lucian, the leader of physical training medicine, speaks.

Setting a goal you can work to the goal of 10,000 steps a day, a good number to ensure that the movement brings health results, aiming to add 1,000 additional steps a day every two weeks.

Why set a day goal? Walking is an exercise form that is available to most people. There's no need for special equipment except appropriate shoes. And there's no need for an expensive subscription to the financial center. This simple activity can help reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and depression.

Ten thousand steps a day is an old mante, added Professor Lucian”. This is certainly a very good objective when we refer to subjects who have a sedentary life and are old.

If, on the other hand, we are talking about young people, my advice is that you definitely raise your load, with activities that are more effective in training a healthy body. Not content with the minimum, in short.

Anything else is better than sitting down, although the step we take is not fast enough to qualify as a moderate - intensity exercise, walking helps prevent problems that may arise when you sit very low during the day. Adding regular activity to daily routine is beneficial.

A half hour a day of moderate activity, corresponding to the classic 3/4 thousand steps a day, is ideal, the specialist comments.

It's a little bit of time that we have to devote to ourselves in the morning, if possible, which we have to find if we want to be well and live long. The choice is ours.
