There's no shortage of advice on how to exercise for a long and healthy life - Pilates, yoga, strength training, cold-water swimming - the list goes on. But given that most of us are juggling work, family, and other responsibilities, sometimes all we can manage is a walk. Is it enough exercise?
The good news is, many doctors and personal trainers think that pulling your walking shoes and heading out for a walk is one of the most underrated forms of exercise. "It’s low impact, accessible, and extremely easy to fit into your daily routine, and it offers both physical and mental health benefits," says PT Anya Russell, who works predominantly with women going through perimenopause.
