The Easiest Exercise

Walking has been indicated as one of the most effective methods of improving fitness and aiding weight loss because:

• It's so easy to do
• Not alot of equipment needed
• You've mastered it since you were a toddler
• Low impact (won't hurt your joints)
• Low cost (no gym membership required)

The National Weight Control Registry, a group of more than 5,000 individuals who have lost at least 30 pounds and kept the weight off for at least 1 year, reported almost 95% of the participants stated that: In addition to nutritional changes, they lost the weight and kept it off by increasing their physical activity, most frequently by walking.

• Walking is the most popular activity in U.S. with 89.8 million participants.
• "The Diabetes Prevention Program" found walking 150 minutes per week and losing 7 percent of your body weight (12 to 15 pounds) may reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes by 58%.
• Walking reduces your risk for depression 20% by walking just 20 minutes per week, according to a British study of more than 19,000 adults.
• Walking reduces breast cancer risk by 18% when women walked briskly for 1 3/4 hours to 2 1/2 hours per week, compared to inactive women.
• A landmark study of more than 70,000 nurses ages 40-65 found the more a woman walked, the lower her chances of having a coronary event. Those who walked 3 or more hours a week had a 35% less risk compared to those who walked infrequently. Plus, it's never too late to start: Sedentary women who became active when they reached middle age or later had a lower risk of coronary events than their couch-potato counterparts.
