Cardio work, like walking, is some of the best exercise anyone can do. It doesn’t matter what age a person may be, young or old, cardio is always good.
Cardio helps to get that blood moving and the heart pumping in just the right way. But as we age, one thing we need to be careful is the stress that high impact cardio may have on our joints. Inflammation can set in and we can suddenly find ourselves very sore.
Recovery from such soreness can take an inordinate amount of time as we age. So what is the best way to get this all important cardio in and yet still keep it low impact on our joints? The simple answer is walking.
Walking is one of the best exercises that we can do, and it is healthy for our joints. Such low impact on the joints will help them to be exercised and used as well as strengthened.
So think about walking daily and see the immediate health benefits on your cardiovascular system. It doesn’t have to be high intensity walking; really, all it has to be is low intensity walking that will keep you moving consistently.
