Walking

Most people know that physical activity is good for them. Did you know that physical activity can improve your health? For example, walking – one of Canada’s most enjoyed forms of physical activity – is fun and will help you feel great!

For most people, walking is a very safe exercise. Start slowly and gradually increase speed and distance. If you have any health concerns consult your family doctor to discuss whether walking is for you.
