IS WALKING THE PERFECT AND ONLY EXERCISE FOR YOUR BODY? EXPERTS' ARGUE

Experts believe walking is the best exercise for the human body but is it enough? The body requires regular exercise to remain moderately active. Keeping fit varies individually as many medical conditions (congenital or acquired) could limit how far one can train/go in different exercises.
All experts agree walking is better than no exercise, but a combination of aerobic-type (running, cycling, swimming) and strength-type exercise (lifting weights or bodyweight exercises) should be included to counter the losses of muscle strength/power and bone density as we age.

One expert believes walking alone is not enough to provide all the aspects of health-promoting effects of exercise for most people, though it may provide a platform to more intense exercise.

Another expert on the advantages of walking - it depends on how long you walk, how fast you walk, walking down a slope or up a hill. 5 km/hour, or 3.1 mph is considered the moderate pace at which following benefits could be achieved; reduced risk of heart disease, excess weight and obesity, type 2 diabetes, depression and anxiety, osteoporosis, many cancers and socially - meeting people.

Yet another advises walking at a speed of 4-6 km/h (2.5-3.7 mph) for half an hour per day is enough as moderate walk requires about three times your resting metabolic rate.
