Walking For You

Today, Americans are jogging, swimming, skiing, bicycling, dancing, and walking their way to healthier lives. All of these exercises are great activities that will improve aerobic fitness if done for at least 20-30 minutes within target heart rate for 3-5 days a week. However walking is one of the easiest and simplest ways you can bring fitness into your everyday life, regardless of age, skill, and ability. Your text sets you up for success by not only explaining how simple it is to start a walking program, but discusses a few things to consider first before you get started. From this information, it is clear that walking has always been considered the most perfect exercise. For this discussion post,
