EXERCISE – WALKING

Walking is good exercise. To reach and maintain physical fitness, it is necessary to walk 5 km in less than 45 minutes five times a week. The same result is obtained by running 2% km in less than 12 minutes four times a week.

If this is too fast for the middle-aged man or woman, run 3 km in less than 20 minutes, four times a week.

If you prefer to ride a bicycle, you should ride 8 kms in 20 minutes, six times a week.

Swimming is an excellent way of exercising your heart and lungs. Try 750 metres in 20 minutes, five times a week.

If you are competitive and wish to play squash, IV2 hours squash at least three times a week is necessary to maintain fitness.

If you exercise only twice a week, you cannot hope to get fit or maintain fitness. If you exercise only once a week, this is more dangerous to your heart than no exercise at all.

Exercise burns up energy and will slowly burn up excess weight. It may take a long time to burn off those extra kilos of fat but, combined with a proper diet, it can trim you down to an ideal weight.
