The Power of Brisk Walking: 10 Surprising Benefits (and 3 RISKS)

Brisk walking, also known as fast or power walking, is often overlooked as an effective technique to stay fit and healthy, but the truth is that it can provide some great benefits. Not only is power walking a low impact exercise you can do at home, but it can also aid in weight loss and deliver satisfying results in no time.

Surprisingly, brisk walking has additional unexpected benefits, like improved posture and muscle strengthening - both of which can be achievable with the right technique. Most importantly, power walking is a workout for your heart and lungs that requires minimal effort and time - making it the perfect exercise for people who are looking to get fit without committing onerous amounts of their day to physical exercise.

So look into power walking today to get serious before and after results with minimal potential risks!

This comment may be late since this video is year old but, I would have sent this to someone except all your clips of people actually briskly walking (except a short part at the end) are in slow motion. I know that many people don't understand what brisk walking actually looks like. Also, "power" walking is different than "brisk" walking. Thanks for all the other info though.

I go for walk when on a run rest day to tally l take in some fresh air and just be outside. I really should walk more than I do and need to work this into my week.
Thanks for a great video on probably a much overlooked form of exercise ❤

Thank you for your recommendations. How about backward walking? What is the best time to start walking: early in the morning or late in the evening? I love walking. I have been doing that for a very long time and find it usefull and healthy for my overall feeling I mean physically and mentally. For the last few days I have been doing that barefooted and my feet get relaxed and massaged. Walking gives me peace of mind and this is what everyone needs. I appreciate that. Thumbs up! Cheers!

I incorporate power walking with jogging/short sprints in my 10km daily routine every afternoon as well as weightlifting twice a week. I'm a healthy weight and feel fitter than I was 10 years ago.

Had a heart attack when I was 23. I can’t go over 150bpm to avoid issues. My doctor recommended brisk walking. I’ve been scared of exercising for a couple years bc I’m always scared of it happening again but exercise literally decreases the chances of cardiovascular issues. I gotta get over this fear lol

I take three 20 minute brisk walks (5kmph) every day.

Walking is good
Brisk walking is better
Brisk walking up inclines (stairs, treadmill) is best!
