So, you may love going for walks, but it’s all about the pace! You’re going to need to increase that speed to increase your expected lifespan! In this case, it is the hare that wins the race of life instead of the tortoise. A 2019 study discovered those who walked at a brisker pace (around 100 steps per minute) lived longer than those who walked more slowly. That also presented itself across all weight categories, which made the study very interesting. Picking up the pace might be what you need to start doing!

Something that is a great incentive to walk faster and to walk more is a smartwatch that tracks your movement throughout the day. By setting your goals, you’ll know what you’re aiming for and when you are achieving these goals. That is a great method to help you get into healthier walking and standing habits too. If you have a smartphone, you are also able to track your steps using this device. Walking is a fantastic form of exercise as it is, and by picking up the pace just a little bit, you could be ringing in that 90th birthday in tip-top shape.
