Walking is always available and a free form of exercise. Short (10 minute) bouts of brisk walking, three times a day add up to the 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise you need each day.

- Improves blood flow throughout the body

- Improves your ability to fall asleep quickly and sleep well
- Counters anxiety and depression and increases enthusiasm and optimism
- Boosts energy level and thereby helps normalize weight
- Increases muscle strength and the ability to do other physical activities
