#3 – Strengthens the bones

As you get older, your bone density and strength will naturally diminish. That is why you need to do something to prevent further bone-related health issues such as osteoporosis. And by doing something, we mean exercising. For that purpose, medical experts recommend weight-bearing workouts.

Walking is one of the aerobic activities that is considered to be weight-bearing. After all, you are walking while bearing your entire weight. That’s a lot! Even if you are lightweight.

Here are some pieces of advice to make your walks even more efficient when it comes to muscle strengthening: walk fast, go up and down flights of stairs every time you get the chance, and make sure to include more intensive exercises in the middle of your walking routine (squats and pushups, for example). This will also provide you more joint mobility.
