TODAY .
Take a brisk walk for 20 minutes
per day, Every day.
For over 40 years now, studies have shown
walking to be the best form of exercise that
people of all ages can do.

• WALKING AND CHOLESTROL – Regular


walking can increase the levels of good
cholesterol.
• WALKING AND SMOKING – Regular
walking is a positive habit to replace
smoking with.
• WALKING AND BLOOD PRESSURE -
Regular walking makes the heart work
more efficiently and improves blood
circulation. Blood vessels become more
elastic and the amount of oxygen
delivered to the tissues increases.
• WALKING AND STRESS – Walking is
one easy way to deal with tension, anxiety
and stress. Studies show that people who
exercise regularly can cope better with
stresses of life. Researchers in USA found
a 14% average drop in anxiety levels in
regular brisk walkers. Walking recharges
our batteries after tension and stress have
drained them of power and energy.
• WALKING AND FITNESS - Regular brisk
walking improves muscle tone, makes
your heart stronger and gives you that bite
of fitness. Do it regularly for 20 minutes
every day and enjoy that feeling of fitness
from within.
