A 30-minute walk a day

Indonesia

October 6, 2018 3:12pm CST

Taking a walk is a good chance to keep doctors away. It's the most simple exercise we can do to maintain our health. It helps us lose weight, de-stress, lower our blood pressure and reduce our risk of many chronic diseases. It is said that taking a walk for just 30 minutes a day is enough to get its benefits. I always walk to and from work as my office is only 500 m away from my house, plus I also walk to market every morning and do house works by myself , so I think I already take a 30 minute walk a day everyday, even maybe more than 30 minutes. Do you always take a 30-minute walk a day everyday?

You are so right. Just a 30 minute walk can increase endorphins, serotonin, adrenaline, heart rate, and other good things. The net result is improved calm, happiness, and health.

Yes walking is the best and most important exercise, which can be done without any equipments or going to gym A 30 min walk in morning as well as evening can reap long term benefits. Gradually, one can try brisk walking and then jogging.

I don't go out for a walk because I don't always have the time, but I do try to incorporate it in my daily life - I choose to take stairs instead of elevators, I take a bus that stops a bit further away from home and walk home.
