4 Ways To Make Your Daily Walk More Effective

Huff Post  

Sorrasak Jar Tinyo via Getty Images From adding body weight exercises to traveling on hilly paths, there are plenty of ways to make your walk more effective and challenging. What’s more, daily walking can help build bone and muscle strength and improve joint health, said Nolan. “It’s really been exciting more recently seeing a lot of new research coming out about how something as simple as walking can really be an exceptional exercise, when done properly,” he said. “You could also walk with light weights or do some simple body weight exercises like squats, lunges or pushups during points of the walk to work different muscle groups,” Nolan said. “It will make it more comfortable, but at the same time, you’re actually improving your muscle strength more effectively relative to simply level walking.” Meanwhile, walking uphill can provide more of a challenge to your cardiovascular system, and some research suggests that it can benefit people with knee joint issues.
