It’s no secret that the key to longevity includes an active lifestyle and a balanced diet. This doesn’t need to involve smashing your body with high-intensity exercise at the gym, either, because there are many low-impact workouts you can do to stay fit and lose weight.

Walking is one of the best ways to maintain a healthy metabolism, burn energy and contribute toward weight loss or management without stressing out your body. Over the years, it has become common knowledge that you don’t even need 10,000 steps a day to benefit, either. Just a small tweak to your daily walk could help you stay fit and lose weight at any age.
