Walking is Excellent Exercise

Many people are surprised to learn that walking is excellent exercise; we recommend it for everyone. You burn approximately 200 calories in a one-hour walk.

This means you will lose one pound every three weeks from one hour of walking five days a week (providing that you don't increase the amount of food you eat). Walk to the shopping center, the supermarket, or the corner drugstore instead of driving.

Walking is easy on the muscles and joints, and rarely causes low blood sugar. Exercise may make your body more sensitive to insulin, so it can help you achieve a normal body weight and a normal blood-sugar level. Start walking today!
