A member asked:
Is walking for 40minutes everyday good enough exercise for a 33year old man?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: No one knows what amount of exercise is optimal, but the american heart association recommends all adults from 18 to 65 exercise at least 30 min. At least 5 days a week to lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Walking is a good form of exercise, esp. If done at a quick pace. A nice collection of articles on the benefits of exercise is at www.Donstaley.Com/category/s8-articles/c56-exercise-benefits.
