10 Things That Happen to Your Body When You Walk





Regular walking has incredible benefits on your health and wellbeing – and the good news… we obtain these benefits every day. According to the Mayo Clinic, regular brisk walking can help you maintain a healthy weight, prevent or manage various conditions, including heart disease and high blood pressure, strengthen your bones and muscles, improve your mood, and improve your balance and coordination.


There are a number of ways to add more walking into your day. Try taking the stairs instead of the elevator, pace around while talking on the telephone, leave the office and go for a brisk walk during your lunch break, or get off of your bus/train stop a station earlier and walk the rest of the way.

Improve your circulation, enhance your mood, lower your risk for Alzheimer’s disease and live a longer, healthier life just by walking.

Rather than trying to find the closest parking spot in a parking lot, I will park out a ways. My car does not get dinged up as much, and I get additional walking in during the day.

I started walking for health 2 years ago and for cardio I'm certain it helped a great deal. Problem is I didn't recognize the signs of a heel spur soon enough to prevent it... Be careful...

It's funny, my legs don't work as well as they used to, but I'll still park in the middle to far sections of the lot and walk. I've always been amused by the people who will sit in their cars and fight over the closest spot, but the lot is half empty. At least I can always find my car out in the open.
