Is Walking Enough?
Walking has proven to be the key to a successful weight loss and fitness plan for many. For example, the Diabetes Prevention Program enrolled subjects who were at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Participants lost approximately 10-15 pounds each and started a program of 30 minutes of moderate physical activity, five days a week—and most of them relied on walking as their primary activity.
The results were dramatic: participants in the study reduced their risk of developing diabetes by nearly 60 percent during the course of the study. And walking is a natural—it's free, requires no special equipment and people of all ages can enjoy it all year long.
So get your shoes on and get walking!
