Walking is a suitable form of exercise for people who want to burn calories and lose weight. A simple activity like walking can increase your fitness. This activity also helps reduce body mass index (BMI), weight and body fat percentage.
In addition, if you maintain a long-term walking habit, you will reduce the risk of coronary heart disease as well as cardiovascular events. Walking also helps increase blood circulation, thereby improving endurance and maintaining energy for the body.
In particular, intermittent walking is a walking method that contributes to longevity. This method includes walking at high intensity for 3 minutes, low intensity for another 3 minutes and repeating for a total of 30 minutes. You should do 4 sessions/week.
Compared to maintaining the same speed throughout the walking process, intermittent walking has many health benefits. Moderate intermittent walking can counteract some of the effects of aging, such as high blood pressure, weak thigh muscles, and reduced exercise ability.
