"5 Reasons to Get Moving: Boost Your Motivation to Walk"

A literature review published in The British Journal of Sports Medicine found that a brisk walk of at least 11 minutes a day significantly lowers the risk of heart disease, many kinds of cancer, and mortality overall. Walking can also help manage symptoms of arthritis and relieve lower back pain. "Walk and talk" therapy can be a refreshing alternative to traditional sessions, and a regular walk may help sharpen memory and stop rumination. Walking can also be an educational experience, with programs like "Walk With a Doc" and podcasts to listen to while walking.
