Feeling too intimidated to step out of the house and get started with weight training? It may seem like that and with expensive gym membership on top, one may not feel like putting in that much work especially when you are at the beginning of your fitness journey. On the contrary to this, there are times when the simplest, most convenient habits kept consistent with discipline offer the best benefits in the long-term. Recently, Cardiologist, Dr. Shailesh Singh went viral speaking about this. He spoke about the remarkable power of daily walking, focusing on how small, consistent efforts can dramatically improve health, longevity and overall fitness as well. His practical advice also resonates with most because it is absolutely cost-free, easy to follow and scientifically backed. According to Dr. Singh, a small short walk may seem insignificant but when compounded over a long period of time consistently, it becomes life-changing, and offers measurable health benefits.
