Walking Exercise

Walking Exercise

For many people, one of the easiest exercise to participate
in is walking exercise. It is summer here in North America and a great
time to be walking outdoors.

Walking is not only a low impact exercise, but you can walk
anywhere and you don’t need any special equipment except a
comfortable pair of shoes.

Walking exercise is also great for people that have some arthritis
or other physical difficulties because it is low impact.

For a normal walking speed of 3 mph, you will lose about 250
calories per hour.

If you walk up hill at that pace, you can increase your
calories burned per hour to 450. This is an excellent way to
lose weight faster and with little risk of injuring yourself.
