We all know that walking is an excellent exercise for people of all ages. When we were younger, it was a no brainer to just get out and play, be active and enjoy. Now that age is creeping up, getting in the exercise that we need can be a bit more difficult. Scheduling it in seems to be the norm and many excuses can come into play too. But with the great outdoors calling our name, throwing on a pair of walking shoes and getting outside shouldn’t be so tough.
Walking has so many benefits for our health. Not only is it good for our circulation and heart, but also our muscles, strength, and even our skin. It truly is a wonderful exercise that we should be doing daily!

How Walking Helps Improve Your Skin
