Walking for ten minutes a day at a brisk pace is a good start to avoiding a
sedentary lifestyle and reaping the health benefits. We're still a long way
from the recommended minimum of 150 minutes of physical activity per week, but
we're halfway there, which isn't bad. And ten minutes' walking a day is by no
means insurmountable.
For inactive people, just 10 minutes a day of brisk
walking, seven days a week, translates into: better physical condition, greater
ability to carry out daily tasks, a positive effect on mood, improved quality
of life, a healthier weight, a 15% reduction in the risk of premature
mortality.
For patients with health problems, this moderate
exercise contributes positively to disease management and reduces the risk of
comorbidities. It is worth exploring an alternative as accessible as
walking for people with physical limitations, such as disabling back pain.
After starting with these ten minutes, it is advisable to gradually increase
the duration, as the more you practice. Without exaggerating, you need to
listen to your body, and the more you do, the greater the benefits.
