Physical activity can be built into ordinary life without requiring an elaborate workout routine. Walking, cycling, active commuting and other forms of movement can all contribute to a more active day.
How to make walking a habit
- Start at a comfortable level.
- Choose a regular time and safe route.
- Increase duration or pace gradually.
- Break up long periods of sitting.
- Use comfortable footwear and stay hydrated as appropriate.
WHO says regular physical activity helps prevent and manage cardiovascular disease and other noncommunicable diseases. Read WHO physical activity guidance.
