Spent the week in Northern Italy and did not train at all. Only walked.
Walked 54 miles and 123k steps last week…
Engaging in at least 150 minutes per week of brisk walking was linked to a 20 percent reduction in all-cause mortality.
The point is this: If you enjoy and are able to stick to more strenuous forms of physical activity, by all means, do those. But if you find yourself frequently injured or begin to feel that you just don’t need the voluntary pain that comes with crushing yourself in the gym or on the track, there’s no need to despair.
Most anyone anywhere can walk briskly for 30 to 45 minutes a day and achieve loads of health benefits. And if you do it regularly over the course your lifetime, there’s pretty compelling evidence that it just might be the only exercise you need.
