Walking is an extremely easy exercise for a young person because we cannot do without walking every day. Now that living standards have improved, many means of transportation have replaced walking.

Walking is a very good exercise for the elderly. For example, going out for a walk after dinner is beneficial to avoid indigestion and is also good for physical health.

The correct way to walk for fitness is to keep your head and chest up, take big steps, and walk approximately 60 to 80 meters per minute.
