Posted by Navin on Sep 04, 2009 | Leave a Comment

In an ideal world, you can eat everything you wanted to, do as little exercise as you feel and move just by flicking a switch.

And if you sat in front of the TV all day filling up with cake and ice cream, it would not make the slightest difference, to your physical appearance and how you felt.

In an ideal world you would not have to worry about your way of life. You would look and feel great all the time.

Meanwhile, in the real world, many adults and children are overweight or obese. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Sciences, heart disease kills nearly one million people per year.

There are many reasons why. Television is just one. Working for long periods of time on computers and an increasing dependence on the car are some others.

And if, like many, you know you are not as active as you should be, you probably breakout in a cold sweat every time the dreaded word “exercise” is called.

But here is why you do not need to worry. It is a sport that you know only too well that offers the perfect solution to being fit. It is your own two feet!

Imagine for a moment what the ideal fitness plan would look like:

1 It would be easy to do and fun

2. There would be wide range of health benefits

3 It would be cheap and you would not have to purchase lots of equipment

4 It would be flexible enough to adapt to the time you have available

5 It would help you control your body and your life.

Walking is All of the above. It is the ideal solution to the problem of being unhealthy.

It is your solution.

You can change your body, with increase in walking just a bit more every day. All you have to do is the walk on an average 21 minutes a day and increase it as your stamina increases.

Then you need to do it regularly, so that it becomes a part of your daily routine.

And this will help you reach a minimum level of fitness!

The wonderful thing about walking for fitness is that it can be done anywhere: at home, in the gym, in your local area or for the adventurer in the great outdoors.

And it is completely free.

Go hiking. Do what you do best and make your body your best friend!
