Walking is Good For the Wallet
by Patricia Little
One of the major sidetracks in recent times promising increased
health has been the collection of complex advertisements for the
local gym. They promote a gorgeous slim young person who does't
mind paying out hundreds of dollars each year to maintain her
beauty and slim legs.
Exercise machines may be necessary in a confined space where
security is an issue but they don't have the friendliness of a
fresh air experience with the birds and the people.
Study of the overall power of the basic walk shows that with
a regular schedule this exercise can have a positive effect on
the entire system. All that is required is time.
Walking will burn approximately the same number of calories per
mile as running - it just takes longer. The concept of the 'power
walk' provides a sense of serious walking and burning calories
whilst metabolism is increased, fat is burned and weight loss
is promoted. A twelve minute mile is vigorous and will build special
strength from within to extend life.
Specific health based benefits include building of the heart
muscle and keeping the arteries clear and elastic. Half to one
mile per day at an enjoyable and consistent pace is enough to
decrease the risk of the dreaded heart disease.
A good walk even has the attribute of relieving depression and
anxiety caused by stress. In its place a new creativity becomes
evident in a days work at the desk or computer.
As with all exercise programs however there is a necessity to
begin with 5-6 minutes per day depending on health and strength
and building on this by 5 minutes per week. Real benefits will
become obvious with a 25-30 minute program per day.
The speed must be determined by your health and need. Your beauty
will come from a greater happiness both in your body and your
wallet.
