Walking is the easiest and best method of workout. Regular walking is good for health, lifespan and can be active for a long time. Even in this workout the chances of getting a physical injury are minimal.

But how much you benefit from walking, depends on how you walk. As with any exercise, the benefits depend on how long you walk and how much you walk.

According to a recent US study, walking slowly can not only make you lose the benefits of walking, but can also lead to problems in the future.

Most importantly, how long you stay active in old age depends on how you walk at a young age. Women, especially at a young age, can get rid of diabetes, knee pain, depression and obesity problems at an early age. How well you fit physically and mentally depends on the pace of the walk.
