The WTM discussion forum is here. As busy people, stress plays an important role in our lives and exercise is a great way to unwind. Yet with the many demands on our time, both at work and at home, it can be difficult to find the time for physical activity. If you've been looking for a way to fit fitness into your day, walking may be just what you're looking for.
Aerobic activity is essential to good health.
Twenty minutes or more of aerobic activity three to five times a week will strengthen your heart and increase your body's ability to use oxygen. In short, you will become a more efficient machine. This is important if you are interested in losing weight or maintaining your weight as you grow older. Increasing your body's efficiency means boosting your metabolism. The higher your metabolism, the more calories you burn during exercise.
