Walking is a physical activity. Hence, walking can offer effective pathway to health as physical activity is known to burn calories, reduce body fat and minimise the risk of heart disease.
Many people find it difficult to stick to regular exercise programmes as they lack time, enthusiasm, discipline or sufficient financial resources to visit gyms or sports clubs regularly.
Walking is easy, enjoyable, effective and costs very little. However, it is
estimated that an average person walks only between 2000 and 3000 steps per day
leaving a serious shortfall in the level of physical activity that is required
for the optimum health benefits. People, who walk more have:
A recently published study of 80 women, average age 50 years old, concluded that walking is a very effective way for middle aged and older women to reduce their centrally located excess fat, which is implicated in heart disease and type 2 diabetes. This study observed that women

10,000 steps - ten thousand steps - is the recommended
physical activity target per day that is
advocated by heath professionals! 10,000 steps equates to approximately 5 miles
in distance. Many of us lead sedentary lifestyles, walking only as little
as 2000 steps per day. Changes in our attitudes and in our lifestyles are needed,
if better health and longer lives are to be achieved and enjoyed.
Other people often over-estimate their daily routines and
live unaware of the serious shortfalls in the levels of their physical efforts. The British Heart Foundation estimates that 37% of deaths from coronary heart
disease is due to the lack of physical activity as over 68% of adults in the UK
do not take sufficient exercise.
The lead researcher concluded that at least 30 minutes of exercise per day is
advised and walking briskly for 30 minutes goes a long way towards the daily
target of 10,000 steps. Use of
pedometer was advised and recommended as such devices are relatively inexpensive
and unobtrusive and provide the wearers with immediate feedback on the numbers
of steps made together with a relatively accurate report on the overall calorie
burn. (Source: Thompson D. L, Rakow J, Perdue S. M, Relationship
between Accumulated Walking and Body Composition in Middle-Aged Women. (2004). Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise,
