Why Walking Is One of the Best Exercises After 50

Hello my walking friend 👟,

If there’s one thing I’ll never stop talking about, it’s this:

👉 Walking is one of the BEST things you can do for your body after 50.

It’s joint-friendly.
It boosts your mood.
It improves balance, heart health, and energy.
And best of all — it doesn’t leave you wiped out.

✨ This week’s article breaks down why walking works so well, how to get more benefits without walking longer, and how to make it fun (because boring workouts don’t last).

If you’ve ever thought, “Is walking really enough?” — this one’s for you.

Spoiler alert:
✔ Yes, it counts
✔ Yes, it works
✔ And yes, it can absolutely change how you feel day to day

Enjoy the read and keep stepping forward — literally 💚

Walking is often underestimated, but it’s one of the most powerful tools we have for staying healthy and active as we age.

It’s easy on the joints, supports heart health, improves balance, boosts mood, and helps maintain bone density — all without exhausting your body.

Best of all?
👉 Walking is sustainable.

Ways to get more benefit from your walks:

• Add arm movements to engage your upper body

• Change your pace (slow → faster → slow)

• Walk to music to make it more fun (my WALKING WORKOUT VIP Membership is the perfect balance of fun, great music and walking)

• Break it into shorter sessions throughout the day

If walking is currently your main form of exercise — that’s fantastic. You’re doing more for your health than you might realize.

Remember, the best exercise is the one you’ll actually do — and walking fits beautifully into real life.
