Not being able to exercise is no longer an excuse for not staying active. Did you know that walking indoors can also contribute to a healthy lifestyle?
While walking outdoors is always recommended to get a good dose of vitamin D, walking indoors also offers many benefits.
According to Healthline, “Walking is a great form of physical activity that is free, low-risk, and accessible to most people. Not only is it good for you, but it’s one of the easiest forms of exercise to incorporate into your daily life.”
This urban fitness trend is gaining momentum due to its similar benefits to outdoor walking. It is especially popular among people with busy schedules, who are adopting indoor walking as a regular part of their routine, whether at home, work, school, malls or other places.
Benefits of walking indoors:
- Stress Relief: Sitting around doing nothing for long periods of time can increase stress levels. Taking short breaks to walk around can release endorphins and relieve stress.
- Improved Digestion: Walking after meals aids digestion, helping to prevent bloating and heartburn.
- Weight control: Walking indoors can help increase your daily step count, which helps you achieve your weight loss goals. Walking briefly throughout the day can help you achieve your fitness goals.
- Reducing the risk of diabetes: Research shows that walking can reduce the risk of diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity.
Whether intentionally or not, we all walk every day. We may not realize it, but walking is a low-intensity exercise that we incorporate into our daily lives. To make the most of all the casual strolls we take, walk intentionally and achieve all of your fitness goals without having to spend extra time working out at the gym.
