Hi Friend,
Are you searching for a super-simple way to boost fitness, blowtorch excess body fat, and live a longer life?
The road to robust vigour begins with your very next step… Or, to be more precise, your next 10,000 steps!
That’s right. Step out for a handful of miles per day and you will soon be surprised at your gains in health, strength and fitness.
But that’s not all.
Walking not only increases your wellbeing by ramping up your lung capacity, it boosts the efficiency of your muscles too. When you walk everyday, expect to see improvements in the muscles of your abdomen, back, and legs. And there’s more: in just a handful of weeks, you will lay down the foundations to increased cardiovascular condition and safeguard it for the rest of your life.
Why 10,000 Steps?
Yet the benefits of walking don’t end there. Practice it often enough and you can enjoy some easy fat loss too. Here are some numbers for you: - One study showed how people who took less than 5,000 steps per day were more likely to encounter body fat problems, while those who covered at least 9,000 steps often experienced no such issues.
- A further study in 'The New England Journal of Medicine' noted that those folks who walked a minimum of 2.5 hours per week shaved their risk of heart attack and stroke by a significant 30%.
- According to the NHS, the average Briton walks somewhere between 3,000 and 4,000 steps per day — significantly less than the desired activity amount.
Writing in ‘The Purposeful Primitive’, strength coach Marty Gallagher talks about the importance of cardiovascular exercise performed on a regular basis. He also states how aerobic exercise, such as walking, consistently strengthens the muscles involved in respiration and actually increases the heart muscle.And what happens when you strengthen your heart? Yep, that’s right. You are able to exercise harder, for longer, and recover faster. More great reasons to start walking everyday in your quest to build a strong and healthy body! Thanks for reading.
Until next time,
Squat for Glory!
