FitnessWalk👣👣



Walking is potentially the most underrated form of exercise. Many experts agree that walking is one of the best possible things we can do for our health and wellbeing. Walking is often taken for granted and considered by many as low impact and probably not gym complaint! From my experience and fitness journey, no matter the type of exercise, the intensity, commitment and frequency makes the difference and produce results.


One good thing l love about fitness (brisk) walk, is that, it is not restricted by time, location and it’s inexpensive. You only need comfortable trainers, joggers and an app to track your steps. Your fitness walk can be both outdoor or indoor, depending on your preference. Walking is my favorite form of exercise. Constantly switching up your exercise routine in order to get the maximum benefit for your health is important. But while walking may not be a popular workout, it may be a better exercise choice for some people.



Walking, in my opinion, is a really good form of exercise and in the long run when done consistently, can help you reach your fitness and weight-loss goals. Medically, walking is the suggested workout over running for many people. For example, for those with knee, ankle and back problems and people who are overweight or obese, walking may be a better fittings choice. Walking, can be both low and high impact exercise depending on your intensity and fitness goals.

Never undermine the benefits of walking for fitness! Sometimes a good walk is all you need to clear your head, which in turn can support your sleep. In fact, research in sleep health shows that walking regularly over four weeks improved people’s sleep quality.

Tips for Walking

  • Grabbing a friend to walk with, tuning into a podcast you love, or listening to an audiobook can help fire up the motivation to get out there for a daily walk.

  • Ramp up by aiming to walk a certain number of steps further than the previous day (for example: 1,000 extra steps today) and slowly increase over the weeks until you’re in a good rhythm. Alternatively, schedule morning or evening walks whatever suits you. Be flexible, and occasionally change the routine and the route. Start slow and gradually build a lifestyle by walking to stay active and fit.

Fitness walking can be sustained over time when done consistently and with others. If you are like me, l joined other steppers online through Fitness Apps like Stridekick , MapMyWalk or Pacers.
