THE BEST EXERCISE IS WALKING BECAUSE………
You carry your own body weight when you walk. This is known as weight-bearing exercise. Some of the benefits include:

• Increased cardiovascular and pulmonary (heart and lung) fitness
• Reduced risk of heart disease and stroke
• Improved management of conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, joint and muscular pain or stiffness and diabetes
• Stronger bones and improved balance
• Increased muscle strength and endurance
• Reduced body fat
