  • Walking is a totally free, easy exercise that requires little effort, and benefits not only your physical but also your mental well-being. If you’re looking for a simple yet very effective way of losing weight and improving your overall health, walking is something just for you.
    People who are physically active throughout their life are much less prone to this disease than those who have a more sedentary lifestyle. And that’s because they have more volume in their hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for verbal memory and learning.
    A daily half-hour walk helps avoid serious problems, like coronary heart disease to name one, by lowering high blood pressure and cholesterol levels and improving blood circulation. Because of better-quality and deeper breathing, some symptoms associated with lung disease can show significant improvement thanks to walking.
    Muscle tone and weight loss is also totally achievable through simple walking. Find your optimal pace, but don’t break out into a jog. This sort of speed walking is low impact and doesn’t require any recovery time, which means no sore muscles to keep you from getting out and walking the next day.
    The Arthritis Foundation recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate walking a day to reduce pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the joints. Building strong bones will help you prevent osteoporosis and reduce bone loss. Walking contributes to better blood circulation within the spinal structures, pumping important nutrients into the soft tissues and improving posture and flexibility, both of which are vital for a healthy spine.
    A group of researchers at Iowa State University worked with hundreds of college students. Walking changed their mood for the better, even though no one warned them it could do so.
    If you still don’t feel motivated enough to start walking for your health, try joining a class or find a buddy who also wouldn’t mind getting all the benefits of walking. Another idea could be to hire a personal trainer.

    SUMMARY
    -Walking prevents the early onset of dementia, reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and improves your overall mental well-being by reducing stress and releasing endorphins.
    -Get on the road to improve vision and protect your eyes now from potential problems, such as glaucoma, in the future.
    -Walking is no less effective than running when it comes to the prevention of heart disease and stroke.
    -Walking is an aerobic exercise, which means that it increases oxygen flow in the bloodstream and helps eliminate toxins and waste, which is great for your lungs.
    -Walking for exercise is a surprisingly more effective way to prevent diabetes than running is.
    -Just half an hour of walking every day not only lowers the risk of developing colon cancer but also improves digestion and regulates bowel movements.
    -Just 10,000 steps a day can be just as effective as a full-blown workout at the gym, especially if you add some intervals or uphill walking.
    -Walking can provide more joint mobility, prevent the loss of bone density, and even reduce the risk of fractures.
    -Walking is a real life-saver for those who experience back pain during more challenging high-impact exercises.
    -Walking improves depression symptoms in patients with MDD, just imagine how easily it could help us cope with just feeling down or exhausted.
    -Keep in mind the FIT formula. It stands for Frequency (how often), Intensity (how fast), and Time (for how long).

    I am 24 years old and currently over 18 stone. Last year my mental health hit rock bottom.. Last week I decided to ditch the antidepressants and get out walking on my own for 40-50 mins a day. Already I am feeling so much better and cried for the first time in years just at how much happier I am feeling (And possibly the side effects of not being on meds). I hope somebody reads this and makes the same decision I did- You can do it.

      I have been sedentary so long that walking up and down steps is a chore. I was trying to walk up and down five steps (seven times) even that makes me short of breath. I'm going to walk in place and then march in place and I'm believing there will be a vast improvement. I weigh almost 300lbs around 280-290lbs. I want to lose 1-2 lbs a week. I'll see how it goes.

    I go wallking every night for 40 minutes. My girlfriend of 4 years broke up with me yesterday and my heart is broken but I still pushed through my 40 minute walk tonight. I cried most of the way at first but I felt better after the walk. I hope walking helps the pain of my broken heart go away.
    Update: So it's been nearly a year since this post and I found out a few months ago I wasn't just broken up with. I was being cheated on for about 4 months. I thought she was it and was gonna marry this woman but I dodged a bullet, I guess. She would have cheated on me eventually. I am still walking every day and I am seeing a therapist because she really did a number on my self esteem. Thank you all for all your supportive comments and encouragement. I am 60 pounds down and I don't think I would have had the strength to carry on with this weight loss if she hadn't shattered my heart because I only started walking to help me cope with the sadness of the breakup. I suppose everything happens for a reason.

    I have diagnosed PTSD from being in a war while in the military. For 10 years I lived a very unhealthy lifestyle.
    About two years ago I weighed 445 pounds. One day, something clicked in me and I realized I had enough. I went outside and went for a walk. I didn't do 30 minutes because I physically couldn't. But each day I went out and gradually increased how much I walked.
    Now, two years later, I have lost over 200 pounds and I am walking 2 hours every morning. I've changed my diet and I have a social life with friends and family.
    Walking not only changed my life, but it saved my life in ways no medication ever could.
    My advice to anyone who wants it: Start small and don't give up. Just walk around the block. Build yourself up to that first mile. And, before you know it, you will be doing 7, 8....15 miles every day. Just don't give up.

    I've been walking for a year now, two miles a day most days (once in a while I take a day off). Much to my surprise, my medical results have been better. My othamologist tells me that the pressure on my optic nerve has receded so I won't need drops to avoid glaucoma, and my regular doctor informed me that my lung capacity has improved dramatically. I am now a believer!

I haven't been able to finalize the divorce, he is a horrible man. While I was married I was suffering from a lot of stomach issues, headaches insomnia and my bones were hurting. I began walking my dogs for 15 minutes everyday a year and half ago. I am up to walking 60 minutes everyday. I have lost 25 pounds and people tell me I look ten years younger. Mentally I am stronger now, no more depression. Walking has literally saved my life and my sanity. You just have to make walking a habit a part of what you do everyday. I am a school teacher and as tired as I get from work, I get home and head out to walk my dogs. I have completed my first walkathon. It's never too late to start taking care of yourself.

On the days that I don't play golf, I go to the local park and walk 5 miles. I used to be able to do it in less than 90 minutes, but lately I'm up to about 95 minutes. Must be getting old!

When I started telecommuting we could finally have a dog at home with me 24x7.. We loved our first dog and adore the second dog; both rescued dogs that saved us. We treat our dogs as our kids. I simply wanted to provide one of the many benefits dogs offer.

    I've suffered with depression for years. Its so important to go outside to be under the beautiful nature, get some sonshine and exercise your muscles. You can lose muscle memory. Because of my depression its so important to me to force myself to get out and walk..its a way of encouraging
    Me and to help prevent deep depression we could really lose our mind and hope and never return from that. So yes walking is very important for a healthy mind bodt and soul. May God grant us the will to be great Stewarts over all He's blessed us with. There ate so many people that would love to have legs to walk.God bless us all.

But it is also possible to do it less often but longer distances. I did tours approx 2 times a month for at least 35 km. Ant ot still worked greatly on health. The effects are multiplied if you discover new beautiful places. Such tour has strength of any any anti depreßing medicine used. At least from positive symptpms. Funny thing is that you would get better even if your situation is not better. So happines need not to have rational basis other than walking.

And he told me that I need to walk 30 minutes a day to strengthen my back. I walked in my driveway with a cane. It was painful. But I did it. I got a treadmill. And I’ve kept it up for almost a month now. My back feels better than it has in over a year. And that’s just after a few weeks. I can’t wait to see how much better I feel in a few more months.

    Walking daily has changed my life. I walk 3 miles every day around a park daily for the past year (rain or shine). It’s was the catalyst to working out with weights and even running/jogging and healthy eating. coming from someone who has sit behind a computer the last 20 years. I have has lost 30lbs over the past year and am currently full of muscle and almost a six pack. Thank you walking!

    Just came across this video . I was 35 years at a desk job ,70 lbs overweight when I retired . Started walking the first of December . As of the first of April I am 32 pounds down and feel better both mentally and physically . An added bonus for me was I only had to eat 5 antacid tablets since I started walking , I usually ate at least 3-4 a day !

    I am 33 years old. I started walking on April and I've been doing it almost everyday. The benefits I've seen are: my memory has improved, I can go up the stairs much more ease, my mood has improved, I have much less back pain, my gastritis is much better, I feel more toned, and also have lost about 2 - 3 pant sizes. I am not checking at the scale... I just noticed the difference when I wear my pants or jeans. I walk at work during my 15 min breaks. I've noticed others doing it too. It's just a gift that keeps on giving.
