Walking for fitness beats fads in a busy world
The article argues that 30 minutes of daily walking provides substantial health benefits for the 80 percent of Americans who do not regularly exercise. It explains 150 minutes weekly as a guideline, discusses 10,000 steps as a starting point, and highlights practical tips like stairs, parking farther, and using pedometers. It notes intervals can raise intensity but walking remains less intense than running for cardio and weight loss.
