We are often asked how effective is walking as an exercise. 
Walking is an effective form of exercise, and it has certain advantages over other exercises in that it is easy to do – it is low-impact, and does not require a significant amount of investment. It is possible to start today, and even such small changes in activity level add up over a period of time. In addition, it is extremely easy to vary the exercise routine to avoid getting bored – simple changes such as location, pace, walking style, or by going for a hike. There is also some scientific evidence that suggests that by incorporating some additional tools, effectiveness of walking as an exercise could be increased by as much as 20%, without becoming more tiring. Because most people live a sedentary life style, simply adding an hour to walk around the block in the evening adds a significant amount of needed physical activity. Talk to your doctor, do some planning, start easy, gauge yourself, and get going!
