The Zeal To Grow

The all-age exercise Walking is that simple of an activity where we just need to keep putting one leg in front of another as slowly as we can. It is something that we learned on our own as a baby and since then it has been with us. People of all ages can walk without too much of an effort or training. But over the years we have got lazy and now we avoid walking as much as possible. Even if the distance we have to walk is about a few 100 metres we resort to vehicles. Imagine how fit the previous generations(or younger version of ourselves) were who used to walk kilometres to go to school or market. We just need to rediscover that lifestyle. (PC: Google) Health benefits Before I tell on how to rediscover the lost walking lifestyle, let me start with some benefits on walking (most of them are associated with any exercise): Strong legs - carrying our own weight over and over, our leg becomes real strong. Strong core - the core muscles that stabilise our posture will get

People usually do a mix of both or pick one based on their preference or goals. Comparison: Effect - Swimming is a full body exercise. In addition to leg kicking, upper body(arms and shoulders) also needs to work hard to drive forward. Running is more of a lower body exercise. Core needs to be strong to have a good running form. But while running, upper body is less used compared to lower body. Injury - Running is more injury prone. Gravity takes its toll while running. Every step during running, creates a reaction force from the ground which travels up the body and can lead to injuries. Depending on the running speed, the force can be up-to 4G (4 times the body weight). And for the same reason, lots of strength training should go with running. But while swimming, because of the buoyancy of water, gravity won’t cause any trouble. Hence swimmin
