Walking is the universal mode of transportation. It’s what we rely on, and it’s SO good for us!

 

According to experts:

 

• 10,000 steps a day helps with cardio fitness and heart disease prevention.

7 WAYS WALKING BOOSTS YOUR HEALTH

 

Circulation

 

Walking gets your heart pumping, improving blood flow throughout the body – from your brain to your toes. This helps get vital oxygen to all the cells and carry away waste.

 

Weight Management

 

When you’re moving, you’re burning calories. A 150-lb. person walking at just 2.5 miles per hour will burn about 100 calories per mile. Plus, it might inspire healthier food choices.
