Welcome to WalkingWorks
Walking works - in a lot of ways. A brisk-paced walk can help you and
your family look and feel better, increase energy, and pick up your spirits.
Walking can work to improve your health, too. A regular routine of brisk-paced
walking daily can help you lose weight, lower cholesterol, strengthen your
heart, and reduce the likelihood of serious health problems down the road. And
with America spending more than ever on preventable health problems like heart
disease, osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, and conditions associated with obesity
such as arthritis, every step counts.
While any increase in walking will help promote good health, the President's
Council on Physical Fitness and Sports recommends 30 minutes a day, on five or
more days a week, or 10,000 steps daily, to produce the best, long-term health
benefits for most individuals.
