Walking – a simple way to stay healthy!

We live in a time when desk jobs are the norm and a sore back troubles us for most of our adult lives. We don’t always have time to go to the gym or train at home. Schedules are often tight to the minute and it’s hard to find time for extra activities. In this case, walking seems to be a great option!

Benefits of frequent walks

We are not only talking about long, exhausting walks, during which we measure the number of steps and the distance we have walked, but also about a simple activity performed between one activity and another. It is not difficult to park the car somewhere further away or walk 1 km instead of driving. This is undoubtedly the biggest advantage of walking: you can go anywhere, at any time and in any conditions

Another advantage of walking is that it improves your mood quickly. No matter what pace you walk, this activity activates physical and chemical processes that positively affect our well-being. It is recommended that you walk for a minimum of 30 minutes every day. Being outdoors not only improves your mood, but also provides your body with a higher dose of oxygen. Thanks to this, the blood flow is accelerated, and this improves the work of the entire circulatory system
