Walking is a simple, accessible activity that anyone can enjoy — incredibly effective for staying in shape and completely free! Let’s take a closer look at the amazing benefits of walking for our wellbeing, our health, and our figure.
When and how long should you walk?
To maintain good health, the WHO (World Health Organization) recommends that adults take 10,000 steps per day. That might sound abstract at first, but in practice it roughly corresponds to a typical day (work, daily activities…) with an added 30 minutes of walking. A great way to track your daily step count is to use a mobile app or a smartwatch — they’ll effortlessly count every step you take.
The good news is that to enjoy all the benefits of walking, all you have to do is… walk! Whether you’re walking to work, picking up the kids from school, getting some fresh air, or exercising, every reason to walk counts. So it’s easy to fit those 30 minutes of walking into your daily routine!
The benefits of walking
The benefits of walking are truly numerous. We’ve picked out 5 that are sure to win you over!
Less cellulite
One of the great advantages of walking is its effect on cellulite! Walking stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation, helping your body drain accumulated fats and toxins. This drainage is key to saying goodbye to those dimples!
The perfect activity to unwind
For releasing stress and tension, walking is an excellent option. The hormones released while walking — especially outdoors rather than on a treadmill — help you feel more relaxed and in a better mood. And less stress often means less snacking, which means fewer unwanted extra pounds!
A slimmer, more toned figure
Walking engages virtually every muscle in the body, from head to toe. While the lower body does most of the work, your abs, arms, and back are also involved — they’re what keeps you balanced. Walk for 30 minutes every day and you’ll gradually tone your muscles and burn fat, for a slimmer, firmer silhouette!
Better overall health
Practised regularly, walking has a positive impact on the whole body: supporting cardiovascular health, helping regulate blood pressure, reducing bad cholesterol, and decreasing body fat… Staying healthy, the easy way!
A flatter stomach
Finally, one last reason we love walking: it helps us achieve a beautifully flat stomach! Walking after a meal aids digestion and helps prevent bloating and discomfort that can make your tummy swell. Combined with the fat-burning and abdominal strengthening that walking provides, better digestion means a flatter, more toned stomach.
Just 30 minutes a day is all it takes to enjoy all the benefits of walking… So let’s start today!
