Compared with people engaged in other sports, women of all ages and men over 50 who often walk for more than 30 minutes at a time are lighter and have smaller waistlines. Walking fast for 20 minutes every day, or achieving the same amount of exercise, can burn 90 to 1 10 calories, reducing the possibility of premature death by one third.

If obese people can persist in such exercise, it is expected to reduce the risk of premature death by 16%, while for people with normal weight, this figure is expected to be reduced by 30%. The World Wide Web once published a report: American scholars' survey shows that the average life expectancy of 35% women who like to walk slowly is 75 years old, while the average life expectancy of women who like to walk fast can reach 85 years old. For men, the average life expectancy of people who like to walk fast is longer 10 years.
