An extra hour of walking a day can have soooo many benefits, and it can easily be broken down into shorter walks.  |

since i have horrible knees (mult surgeries, still have my L ACL to repair...) i do a jog/walk combination. i found that weight exercises weren't helping me lose weight because i was already strong, my muscles were strong from riding horses so much. it was cardio i lacked and the one thing i NEVER do is jog/run. since running would = injury, i started walk/jog intervals. depending on where i was, i'd walk about the length of a block, then jog a block, then walk one, jog one, etc. i found that i was able to do far more than i thought - and now can do about 2.5 mi in 30 min or less, and can do almost 4 miles with the first half walk/jog and the 2nd half walking on the beach with ease and without soreness the next day.
it can be discouraging that i've only lost about 5-10 pounds in the past few months of doing this (alternating with other exercises such as kettlebell, jumping jacks, etc.), but i know the more i keep it up, the more i will eventually lose and the more fit i am. on the days i am sore or tired from riding or hiking, i try to keep a decent pace at the walk and it still helps! :)

Walk is simple exercise but it has lot of benefits. This is a simple way to get health and fitness. Walk keeps us fresh and active and also prevents us from many diseases. It makes out digestive system healthy.

And it doesn't wear your joints out like running.

I know walking is good for you, but it is so boring.

I tend to hate walking, myself...but when the weather is nice, I do it anyway! I'll walk to the post office, library, etc - to go from my front door, to the post office and back takes me about 20 minutes (I'm a fast walker, though, lol!) And it can be boring - but I always find things along the way to appreciate - flowers/plants in someone's yard, being out in the sunshine, enjoying a refreshing breeze cooling my face.....it's more about paying attention to the environment around me than it is about the actual walking, I think!
When the weather isn't nice, I have a step machine that I can use at home - so I'll hop on that while listening to music, or watching TV. It gives a bit of a better workout, too, because I can adjust the resistance....
