HI everyone, let us see the greatness behind walking 10,000 steps or more is good for u. Well lets see walking from many angles on how it can benefit us
Physical Aspects:
Walking is a low impact but it also does burns calories, so if u love your carbohydrates like rice, noodles, pasta in your meals, make it a practice to walk more than 10000 steps every day. Due to its intensity is low, simple logic tells us to increase the length of the duration to equalize running for an example.
Best solution: morning walk 30 mins and hit one more in the evening 30 mins
Due to its low impact compared to running and jumping it’s so much safer to any age and able to do it every day. Low impact exercises are limited, walking is great but u just have to wake up early to give the duration for the walking to be done.
Best Solution: Make sure u have proper insole for your feet type and proper walking shoe to support a walking gait heel to forefoot transition, so that this will allow a proper alignment of the feet, knee, and lower back and the Best Part is keeping the Impact really low.
Maintain Muscle .As we age we will tend to lose the largest muscle in our body which is the thigh muscle known as Quadriceps, Hamstring and Gluteus, Especially the Quadriceps, which is responsible on the knee extension movement, and losing this muscle can cause knee pain, basic movement like walking utilizes this muscles and keeps the muscle healthy and in shape.
Best Solution: alternate your walking pace and add a little hill at your comfort zone .
Exercise is not punishment for the food we consumed, its celebration and gratitude how we are mobile depends on how much we respect and enjoy the walk.
