It is not the action of "walking" that is beneficial to health, but whether you have exercised enough key muscle groups when you walk, such as cardiopulmonary ability, whether the core is tightened, whether the gluteal muscles are active, etc …
Nowadays, many people don't jump when walking, and their core and gluteal muscles are very relaxed ... that is to say, walking is not of substantial help to these people's health. On the contrary, walking too much may cause unnecessary wear and tear on the joints!
Whether walking or running, there are many details and precautions to get healthy through exercise. It takes a lot of time to study.
Exercise is like going to school.
Everyone can go to school, but it can't be said that going to school will definitely lead to Peking University.
Sports is actually a double-edged sword.
There is a concept of "excessive recovery" in sports training. Whether it is the improvement of heart and lung function or strength, the premise is to increase the load first, then take a proper rest, and continue to exercise before the physique has returned to its original level, so that you can improve one step on the basis of improvement.
The same is true for walking and exercising. The walking speed varies from person to person, but too slow will not have any effect, at least the intensity is moderate, that is, the walking frequency of young people is about 130~ 135 times per minute, that of middle-aged people is about 120 times per minute, and that of people over 60 is about 100 steps per minute.
