To 10 Reasons to Get up and Walk

I love to walk, it makes me feel good, weather or not I'm walking at the gym or outside I still get the same effect, it's almost bliss, I feel tension just melting away. Do you enjoy walking? Do you walk for exercise? Do you exercise? If you don't you can just start off simple by walking! Add more time each day, or every other day. Get up and get moving!

Top 10 Reasons to Walk!

1. Research showed that walking 150 minutes per week and losing just 7% of your body weight 12-15 pounds, you can reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes by 58%!

2. Walking strengthens your heart if you're a male. In a study mortality rates among retired men who walked less than one mile per day were twice that among those who walked more than two miles per day!

3. Women in the Nurse's Health Study who walked three hours or more per week reduced their risk of a heart attack or other coronary event by 35% compared with women who didn't walk. So walking strengthens your heart if you're a female!

4. Walking is also good for your brain! If you walk at a easy pace for at least 1.5 hours per week you have better cognitive function!

5. Research shows that postmenopausal women who walk approximately one mile each day have higher whole body bone density than women who walk shorter distances and walking is also effective in slowing the rate of bone loss from the legs. Which means walking is good for your bones!

6. Walking helps alleviate symptoms of depression! Walking for 30 minutes 3-5 times per week for 12 weeks reduced symptoms of depression by 47%!

7. Walking reduces the risk of breast and colon cancer by 18% just by walking 2 hours per week!

8. Just walking 3 times a week for 30 minutes can significantly increase cardiorespiratory fitness!

9. Walk in short bouts, it can help improve fitness too! Research shows that when sedentary women showed short bouts of brisk walking 3-10 minute walks per day resulted in similar improvements in fitness and were least effective in decreasing body fatness as long bouts (1 30 minute walk per day).

10. Walking improves physical function!
