A recent study found that walking 45 minutes a day at a 16-minute-mile pace increased the thinking skills of the participants, all over 60 years of age, who began the program at 15 minutes of walking and gradually increased their speed and time.<br /><br />2. Studies show that walking lowers blood pressure, reduces high cholesterol, enhances mental well-being, increases bone density, reduce the risk colon cancer, type 2 diabetes, and coronary heart disease; and helps flexibility and coordination.<br /><br />3. 30 minutes a day of walking can add 1.3 healthy years to your life. A study in the Archives of Internal Medicine showed exercise levels were directly related to years lived free of cardiovascular disease.<br /><br />4. No matter which plan you choose, move slowly into your regime.

Walking leads to the release of endorphins - the body's natural happy drugs. Walkers who walk at a higher heart rate will notice this effect more than those who walk at a slower heart rate pace. But even at a slower pace, most people notice an improvement in mood.<br /> <br /> 2. Walking at a moderate pace for 30-60 minutes speeds up your metabolism, burns stored fat and builds muscle. Walking an hour a day is also associated with reducing risk of heart disease, breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes and stroke.<br /> <br /> 3. Individuals that used pedometers in their walking programs increased their steps by about 2100 per day, or 20 minutes of steady walking. They walked almost twice as many blocks as those without pedometers.<br /> <br /> 4. Walking is inexpensive, safe, and tones up all muscle groups while keeping the body flexible. It promotes good posture which conveys an impression of alertness, confidence and a magnetic personality.<br /> <br /> 5. Add some interval training to your walking routine. Speed up your pace for a minute or two every several minutes. If you're walking more than one mile, alternate a run-walk, add arm movements or ankle weights while leaving one mile to walk a little more slowly.<br /> <br /> 6. More people tend to stick with walking than any other form of exercise. Walkers also tend to exercise more often and for longer durations.<br /> <br /> 7. After walking steadily for approximately 45 minutes, your body has burned off the available sugars (glycogen) it has stored up and begins to burn fat.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <ul class="links
