Take a walk

Think that daily walks are exercise for old people? Think again. Taking a fast walk for as little as 30 minutes a day can greatly improve your overall physical health and even have a positive effect on your mental condition. Walking can fit into any guy’s lifestyle and is generally considered as a way to stay in shape. Consider the benefits of walking:

Walking helps you maintain a healthy weight. Since the only real way to lose weight is to increase the amount of calories you burn, the benefits of fast walking for at least 30 minutes a day help you take off pounds. It may not happen so fast if you run three miles a day, but over time you will find yourself in much better shape than if you spend that half an hour sitting on the couch watching TV or at the computer.

Walking strengthens muscles. When you walk, you work your muscles. In fact, walking brings into motion almost as many muscle groups as running or swimming. You will end up getting similar benefits in your muscle tone as well.

Walking helps to reduce stress and calm your emotions. Psychologists have long known that you feel better after a long walk. Getting your body moving lets out endorphins (内啡肽) that help you deal with tension from a long day or a stressful life. If you put a nice walk at the end of an otherwise stressful routine, you will find a lot of mental benefits that you won’t get if you just start to deal with your family responsibilities after a hard day’s work.

Adding a daily walk to your routine is not as interesting a choice as finding a tennis partner for three sets or joining a gym and increasing the latest exercise program. But it is a simple, healthy and totally free way to add exercise to your day no matter what your schedule or responsibilities.
