Standing and Walking Can Improve Health
In a recent study
vigorous exercise was compared to a standing and walking workout. The vigorous
exercise was performed in one hour while the standing and walking workout was
based on daily activity. It was found that energy expenditure was the same in
both exercise routines. What does this mean? Standing and walking exercise,
such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, can be just as beneficial as
one hour of intense exercise. This means that a sedentary lifestyle can be
harmful, while making a conscious effort to be more active can improve your
life. So next time you have the opportunity, take the stairs.
