30 percent of American adults walk for exercise. Walking doesn’t require special equipment or athletic skills, yet it offers a host of health benefits, such as losing weight and improving your mood, controlling diabetes and lowering your blood pressure! Just 150 minutes of walking each week can increase your lifespan by 3 to 4 years. Add to it the wonderful feeling of getting out in the fresh air for a walk with friends, family, and neighbors.
