Walking is the ugly stepchild of the exercise world. Like Cinderella it is far more beautiful than her more ostentatious stepsisters.
J.J. Watt, defensive star of the Houston Texans said in an interview on his injury and subsequent surgery that he was not allowed to work out in his early rehab so all he could do was walk. As a result, he found himself walking around 12 miles a day. He said he loved what it did for him mentally as well as physically. His only complaint was that he was wearing out his shoes.
Here are no less than ten reasons you should walk more:
Physical activity guidelines and the benefits of walking
Is Walking as effective as running?
The connection between walking and blood pressure.
Walking gives relief to Glaucoma sufferers

My mother and I used to walk, but she quit, I have MS so allergic to heat. I ordered a cooling vest and now cannot get her to walk because her knees hurts. (stubborn 78, sigh) I am going to send this blog to her. Thank you for the info

Thanks for sharing that. Maybe an exercise bike for her? That would take the weight off her knees. I hope you can get her to do some movement. I am a stubborn 77 😊.

Burning more calories than you consume will do that. Brisk walking burns more calories. The important thing is doing it regularly. Also, pay attention to the amount of calories you are consuming.
