Moving around is also important for your cardiovascular health. A sedentary lifestyle could lead to health problems, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.
Cardiovascular exercise, such as walking, can lower your resting heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugars while reducing your risk of developing diabetes or heart disease.
It’s not too difficult to reach the 10,000-step milestone on a daily basis. You don’t have to run a marathon. However, attaining this goal for optimal cardiovascular health is meaningless if you are not doing at least 10 minutes of consecutive walking.
You should walk for at least 10 minutes nonstop to consider it as cardiovascular exercise. Don’t worry about how fast you are moving. You don’t have to make it all-out intense — just be sure to make it consecutive movement.
