Walking is a low impact exercise and can reduce blood pressure. Being weight bearing, walking can also strengthen your bones.
When the walking distance is too great to be convenient, combine walking with other transport modes to get the exercise we all need into our day.
Remember, your body is designed for walking rather than sitting for long periods of time. On average we walk at 5 km/hr. At that speed we can often be ahead of congested traffic.
