Walking to lead a best and healthy lifestyle

Hi! Walking is great for health. I love walking especially on the beach but since the beach is far from where I live now so I walk in the forest. Great hub. Thanks for sharing.

I have always been a walker. I now go to a gym and walk on the treadmill 30 mins per day. It just makes me feel better.

I love walking for exercise so i am glad to see all of these benefits for something i love to do anyways.

I used to walk three miles every day back before I got pregnant. You're right about it being good for your brain. Maybe I just spent a lot of time thinking, but it helped clear my head when I finished.

I love walking, especially where I live in the beautiful countryside.

I always find it clears my head and relaxes me.

Thanks for a great hub on the benefits of walking.

A very interesting and useful hub.

Thanks for sharing and take care

Eiddwen.

I walk every day. Come up with a lot of good ideas while walking.

Excellent reasons to walk--thanks much for the encouragement. I think I will use your plea with myself on days when I'm tired or don't think I have enough time to fit it in--

"Yes, please walk!"

Thanks much!

Very good list of reasons to walk. Walking is really the easiest exercise of all, we can walk anywhere and at any time of the day !

I love the Leslie Sansone DVD's. Walking inside is a great alternative when you just don't have the time to get outdoors.

Very informative hub! I am a walker and I've been one for years. All of the things you mentioned are true and the number of people you meet makes the walking program even more fun. Thanks for reminding me how good it feels to walk.Keep up the good work!

Wonderful hub. God Bless you.

Another wonderful piece. You re an expert in this area and you write so well. Great job

My (stupid) reason for not exercising is that I am lazy. Right now, I want to exercise for weight control, fitness, heart and brain health, and I know that in the future it will be important for me to exercise for anti-aging and lower blood pressure.

Hello, Injured lamb,

This is a useful, awesome and interesting post. And thank you very much for writing and publishing this article.

Personally, I walk three-to-five miles each day and I certainly do receive a number of physical and mental benefits from that.

Looks like a lot of walking fans here - count me in! I walk at least a mile a day and I have Leslie in my video collection for rainy days. Great hub :-)

Injured lamb: Exercise does not have to be any more complicated than walking. It is amazing how in shape one can stay or become just by fitting a regular 1/2 to 1 hour walk into the schedule. It keeps one mentally and physically alert, and it does not do the damage to one's knees which other exercise may do.

Thank you for the explanations and the supporting examples!

Walking is fantastic for the mind, body and soul:)

Lover Man & I are WALKERS, been so since our "dating days"...and so at this stage in Life, we are Fit & Trim! I enjoyed reading your well written with a little Humor here and there, Hub Injured Lamb. You certainly have pointed out all the Best Reasons to be Walking.

I look forward to Following your Hubs, and thanks for Following mine as well!

Walking is wonderful for all the things you say, and also lifts you up emotionally. I got a dog so I would be forced to walk everyday, and it is working great. He keeps pestering me until we walk.

I love walking - it's my favorite form of exercise. Thanks for pointing out its benefits!

Great article Injured Lamb,

Walking is one of the best things we can do for ourselves..Thank you for some great tips and advice.

God bless,

Sunnie

Walking is one of my favorite exercise too! You have done a great article pointing out the benefits of walking and I so agree with you!

I have walked everyday for the past 11 years, unless I am ill. Its so nice to be reminded of the benefits of walking which you have done and done well.

I will be reading more of your hubs and I know I will enjoy them as much as I have this one! Voted up.

Nice Hub! Love walking for relaxation and exercise. Also a wonderful way to discover your neighborhood.

Walking -- always easy, affordable, convenient, enjoyable either alone, with a dog or with a friend. It's under-rated, over looked and under used.

Thanks for raising awareness to one of the most simple forms of exercise -- simple, yet effective to gain health, fitness and to lose/maintain weight.

Excellent tips!

Voted up, useful, and interesting. True story. My parents were very much overweight for years, and finally had enough of it and came up with a plan. After every meal, they would walk a mile on their treadmill. They've each lost 25 pounds and look 15 years younger; have tons more energy; and are much happier and have less pain and get sick less often. It really works!

Great article. I daily walk and I enjoy it. Sometimes, very simple things like walking can be so good for our health. Keep on writing.

Well said, let's get moving and walking! Nice hub. :-)

Great hub providing encouragement and strong reasons for getting into walking. Thanks for sharing. GClark

I love walking and I recommend this exercise to all. Thank you for posting this hub. voted up and useful.

I have walked for exercise for the last 10 years and find it relaxing as well as a way to keep fit. Thanks for pointing out all the other reasons why its good to walk, Injured lamb. Voted up and useful. Oh and thanks for following me, much appreciated.

Walking is really a great form of exercise. When I was still studying, I would walk at least one kilometer from my house to the main road since our place is quite far from my school. A kilometer walk everyday may seem hard but you know what, I've only been absent 3 times from my class for the entire 4 years! I did not contract any disease, not even flu. This reinforced my belief in walking as a great form of exercise.

Wonderful hub! I love to walk and enjoy nature. It is good for your mind and your body! Thanks for a great hub and your follow and fan mail. It is greatly appreciated. Voted this up and following back. Have a wonderful day! :)

I love walking and like that you pointed out all of the benefits. It's a great form of exercise that anyone could do. Mostly, I like the way that it clears my mind and focuses me on what is important in life not the little minutia that clutters my head sometimes. Nice hub. Voted up!

I actually prefer running or jogging myself, but it is good to do any form of exercise you can. Walking is cool as well for many people indeed. Nice hub voted up for its overall visual quality and usefulness.

My husband started walking about a year ago and has seen tremendous improvement in his health. Your hub is encouraging and it's great inspiration!

Walking is not only good for our heart, it also increases one's stamina, helps in controlling depression and anxiety, and if done on a regular basis can increase one's concentration in mental activities. Great hub! Marked useful and interesting! Voted up!

Hello Injured Lamb, thanks for the reminder about walking for health and losing weight.

Its true, that the real reasons many more of us don't walk, or walk more, are not because there is no time, etc. Thanks for the inspiration to walk or walk more. There really is no reason not to. The part about it being good for our brain, really got my attention too, even though I knew that. More than ever, we need to take care of our minds.

Voted up, useful, awesome and interesting. Thanks again.
