From: 1fitness on 15 Feb 2007 19:09 I've been reading the Dr. Oz book (name escapes me). In the exercise section, it recommends that no matter what, everyday, you should walk 30 minutes. This is in addition to 30 minutes of additional exercise, be it aerobic, strength training or stretching. Why would the book recommend walking everyday? Although this is probably the one exercise that the majority of people can do, is there any other reason why walking is suggested daily?

Because it requires no gym membership, no special equipment, and is low impact so most anyone can do it. Why everyday? Because exercise needs to become a habit, like brushing your teeth, in order to really work. Doing something every day builds that repetition so that it becomes just part of what you do, without thinking too much about it. |
