How fast do you walk?
Of course any walk is better then no walk at all but if u walk just fast enough to get your heart beating just a little more then it normally does, that is where you will receive optimum benefits! The heart is responsive to exercise. Over time (and it won't take long) you will notice your blood pressure and heart rate decrease as your heart gets stronger, and doesn't have to beat as much!
But I have a problem with consistancy. I will go on a long walk one day, and then skip a week which is not doing me much good.
Happy walking everyone!

I read once that you should keep your chin up or at least level to get the optimal air into your lungs. Having good posture I guess is important too.
