The perfect activity

Many people worry about their joints, hips, back problems, their belly etc...
These worries are always there, and that's part of human nature I guess. There is however a perfect activity for everybody. This activity can help reduce the pain associated with arthritis. It can help reduce knee pain, help flatten your stomach. This activity can also help relax and calm you.
You ready?

WALKING!!!!!

I guarantee you that if you walk as often as possible, doesn't matter where or what pace, you will see benefits.

If you have arthritis in the knee or hip, or even in the lower back, walking is a great low impact exercise, and it can even slow the progression of osteoperosis.

If you have bad knees, walking is way less impact than running, and easier flow than biking.

Need to relax and calm down? Go for a nice walk along a river, or in the woods. Be it alone or with somebody you get along well with, go enjoy nature. Bring a camera if you want.

For that stubborn belly... walk at a quicker pace. To lose fat, you need to keep a somewhat brisk pace, and please be aware that diet plays a huge roll in this as well.

I can assure you that the long term benefits of walking daily are endless, so go out and enjoy a stroll, be it alone, with a loved one, with the family dog, or with a baby in a stroller.

Enjoy!
