Walking is an easy and affordable physical activity that can be done anywhere without additional costs. The establishment of a daily goal, such as 7,000 or 10,000 steps, can help maintain health.

However, new studies show that there is a training that is three times more useful for your health than the usual walking. What intensity is more effective than the usual walk, they told Eat this, not that.

The study of 2021 showed that for general health the best are moderate or intensive exercises, which include 100-129 steps per minute or even more than 130. These exercises are three times more useful and give more results than ordinary walking at a pace of 60-99 steps per minute.

Researchers expected that moderate and intensive physical activity would improve maximum performance, but they were surprised that high intensity activity is more effective in improving the ability of the body to maintain a low level of load.

Matthew Neur, the cardiologist of the Boston Medical Center, noted that high -intensity exercises can be more useful than ordinary walking for a general physical form.

In addition, people who take more steps per day or are engaged in moderate physical exercises have better physical fitness, regardless of the time spent in a sitting position. This indicates that activity can compensate for the negative effect of sitting, and therefore, to improve health, it is not necessary to refuse walks, since it is enough to increase the pace.
