Zero cost! This simplest action is the best tonic

Many countries now include promoting walking fitness among the public into national plans. For example, the United States has a "10,000 steps a day" plan, which calls on everyone to carry a pedometer with them and walk 10,000 steps a day for fitness. Australia's "Fitness Pyramid" program lists walking as an important item. Canada has launched a campaign to "eliminate fat people at desks" to encourage people to walk more. Nordic walking is very popular in Finland. In Japan, the 1970s saw the rise of the "Go! Go!" trend. The Ministry of Health of China advocates a national walking movement, calling on everyone to go out on the 11th of every month and join the ranks of walking fitness.

7 reasons to choose walking

The best sport in the world

The World Health Organization defines walking as "the best exercise in the world." Studies have shown that the human body's anatomical structures, physiological functions, the formation of the heart and lungs, and the position of the human skeleton and muscles are most suitable for walking. Gentle brisk walking has magical anti-aging effects. As long as adults persist in walking regularly for more than 12 weeks, they will have a straight posture, a slim waist, and a strong body that is less prone to fatigue. In addition, it can also treat headaches, back pain, shoulder pain, etc., and promote sleep. Experts recommend that healthy adults walk every day as a regular form of exercise throughout their lives.

Walking is safer than jogging

Once upon a time, jogging was considered an excellent whole-body exercise, but now we have discovered a safer, simpler, more effective and more beneficial way of exercise for the body and mind - walking! Walking is more effective than strolling and safer than jogging, especially for women who seldom exercise or those over 30 years old. If they rashly engage in running exercises, the knee joints, tendons and other parts of the body are easily injured; people with problems with organs such as the heart, kidneys, liver or metabolic system will have obvious lack of blood oxygen supply. When walking, the impact on the soles of the feet is about 1 to 2 times the body weight, which is only about 1/3 of that of jogging. The impact on the body while walking can enhance immunity and delay aging.

Walking is the most ordinary behavior and the most economical exercise, but it often has extraordinary effects. Regular walking exercise can reduce the risk of heart disease by 30% and diabetes by 50%. It can also prevent and treat depression, neurasthenia and other diseases. Walking exercise of moderate intensity and duration, and which can be sustained, can promote the function of the body's immune system and delay the aging of immune organs.

“Walking is the best tonic”

This statement comes from Hippocrates, the founder of Western medicine. Chinese medicine also calls walking "the ancestor of all training." Many studies over the years have confirmed that a regular walking program can improve the health of all parts of the human body. All American presidents have been advocates and practitioners of walking exercise: Roosevelt cured his asthma through walking alone; Eisenhower recovered from heart disease through walking; Kennedy was a "walking maniac" and could walk 80 kilometers a week. For women who care about their health, instead of swallowing a lot of health supplements, it is better to go out of the house and be more active in boosting their health.

Lazy man's exercise

For many office workers, persistent physical exercise is nothing but a fantasy. Most people are frustrated by their intermittent exercise and several expired gym memberships. Now, there is good news for those who are lazy about exercise. The Western medical community, which firmly believes in the exercise effects of walking, says that exercise is not the only way to stay healthy. Experts believe that a 30-minute walk every day can keep away the dangers of "adult diseases". People who walk 10,000 steps a day will reduce their risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases by 60%.

Get in shape and lose weight at the same time

What bothers most women the most is thick thighs, enlarged buttocks and a protruding belly. The desire to have a slim figure is a particular concern for every woman. At present, many sports medicine experts agree that long-term and scientific walking exercises can reduce excess fat in the body, make the body more symmetrical and fit, and it is one of the most significant bodybuilding effects among many sports.

Happy body and mind, happy walking

When you are outdoors and walk in nature regularly, the fresh air and beautiful scenery around you can make people feel very happy and even have a certain effect on treating depression. Walking exercise is also a natural sedative. Regular walking exercise can increase the excitability of the nervous system, suppress depression, and make people feel good, relaxed, and energetic after walking.

Walking fitness has flexible time and no restrictions on venue and equipment. There is no need to worry about the expiration of your gym membership, no need to make special arrangements for fitness, and no need to go to a closed gym to sweat it out with everyone else. As long as you move your legs and start walking, health and happiness will automatically find you. Moreover, walking is the most environmentally friendly exercise. Let's start our low-carbon life by walking!
