Why? bulleted list: 1. Walking is a great way to improve or maintain your overall health. Just 30 minutes every day can increase cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones, reduce excess body fat and boost muscle power and endurance. 2. It can also reduce your risk of developing conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and some cancers. 3. Unlike some other forms of exercise, walking is free and doesn't require any special equipment or training.
