Exercising by walking is a sensible choice. You may do it anyplace and you won’t even need any specialized equipment. Your heart will also benefit from it.
According to Dr. Karishma Patwa, a cardiologist at Manhattan Cardiology in New York City, “Regular walking has many health benefits,” such as helping to manage cholesterol levels, decreasing blood pressure, and keeping a healthy weight. The extent to which you reap these benefits, however, may depend on how often and for how long you walk.
Adults should aim for 75 minutes of strenuous activity per week, 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, or a mix of the two for optimal cardiovascular health. In addition, you shouldn’t be overly preoccupied with the 10,000-step requirement. Researchers in 2021 discovered that the risk of death was lower for those whose daily step count was at least 7,000. The most important thing is to be consistent, so figure out what works for you and commit to it.
