I tried doing a 10-minute power walk every morning for a week - it's the best energy boost I've ever tried

Walking is by no means a new form of exercise, but it is refreshing to see how many people are now trying walking workouts. Of course, nothing quite beats a leisurely amble where you're simply walking for the pure joy of it, but there's also something to be said for upping the pace and turning your walk into a mini sweat session.

Enter: the power walk. We've all heard the term, and whether or not you're a power walker yourself, you've probably got an inkling that it's a simple yet effective form of exercise. Yep - it turns out that power walking can have many physical and mental health benefits, including improved cardiovascular fitness, increased muscle strength, and a more positive sense of wellbeing to boot.
