• Cardiovascular Health:
Research consistently shows that regular walking improves heart health. Brisk walking reduces the risk of heart disease by improving blood circulation, lowering blood pressure, and improving cholesterol levels (1).

• Weight Management:
Long-term, consistent walking can help maintain a healthy weight and prevent obesity.(2)

• Muscle and Bone Strength:
Weight-bearing exercises like walking help increase bone density and prevent osteoporosis. Walking also strengthens the muscles in the legs, hips, and lower back. It has been shown to reduce the risk of fractures in older adults.(3)

• Balance and Coordination:
Walking can improve balance, coordination, and stability, which is especially beneficial in reducing the risk of falls among the elderly.(4)

• Lung Function:
Moderate aerobic exercise like walking increases lung capacity and helps improve respiratory function, especially in people with chronic conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). (5)
