Walking is recognized by the World Health Organization as "the best exercise in the world". 1. Walking is a simple and convenient aerobic exercise.

As far as the effect of walking is concerned, it can promote blood circulation and cardiopulmonary function, reduce fat and weight, enhance leg muscle strength, improve body immunity, adjust and relax mental state, and so on.

Walking is suitable for people of different ages, especially for middle-aged and weak people.

Healthy people can walk fast or for a long time. People who are in poor health, or those who are old and weak, can walk slowly or intermittently. Anyway, walking is a suitable exercise for men, women and children.

2. How to maximize the walking effect? 1. Go according to your physical condition and purpose.

Walking according to one's own physical condition is not only to achieve the effect of walking, but also to avoid excessive walking, causing damage to knee joints and other parts. For those who want to lose weight by walking, try to walk as fast as possible and ensure that the time for each walk is more than 40 minutes.

Walking on the road every day, watching the scenery and natural scenery, I feel twenty years younger. However, nothing is absolute. Walking is not necessarily an elixir of life, nor is it necessarily the best prescription for longevity.

Similarly, if you want to achieve the corresponding exercise effect through brisk walking, you should also ensure that you walk 6000 steps at a time, or more than 40 minutes.

3. Precautions for walking and exercising. 1. If you feel unwell, stop it in time.

These physical discomfort, such as rapid heartbeat, chest tightness, shortness of breath, fatigue, knee and ankle discomfort and so on.

2. After walking for a long time, stretching activities should be carried out.
