I totall agree that fitness walking is most likely the safest and best form of exercise. There's no excuse not to do it.
My father started walking a few years ago after being inactive for close to 30 years. I think he has lost close to 40 pounds. It is crazy how something so basic works this well.
Walking is such a good excercise! However, it is important to have suitable shoes if you are planning to do this on a regular basis, and build up time and distance.
I agree with you...walking is indeed a great kind of exercise. It can help a lot in keeping the body in shape and healthy. Also walking is safe to do even everyday.
Walking is by far the best way to start or restart an exercise routine. Key thing is sticking with it and the key thing about sticking with it is to take your time. Begin slowly. Most people overdo it at first, get sore or injured and quit. They don't take the time to plan out a walking routine or they don't spend the time and effort to get proper shoes and equipment. Start with a 15 minute walk for the first week and build from there. As with most things a bit of thinking and planning up front will make all the difference in your outcome

I promote walking in my clinical practice, espeeially to type 2 diabetics. And many of my patients remain with normal sugar levels. Further, I myself walk for about 10000steps, with a speed of 122steps/mint. a brisk walk for about 8omints achieves my goal, and I too, despite a very strong family history of diabetes, so far have remained diabetes free!
This is just to encourage the walking exercise!!
