An active lifestyle is recommended for everyone, you just need to find an exercise routine that fits your age, needs, and possibilities, and that fills you with motivation and joy.

Walking is advised for any age, and experts state that a 40′ walk thrice a week has a significant positive impact on our health, both mental and physical. Regular walks are advisable, but adding up a bit more speed will increase their benefits for your body.

By walking a bit faster than usual, you activate your body, increase your heart and respiratory rate, and stimmulate your fluid circulation. A quick walk becomes an aerobic exercise. You can combine quick walks with your daily routine, for example when you go to the grocery store or visit a friend.
