Make your every step count with India Steps Challenge!

In our rush to make money and be successful in life, we have forgotten to live life to the fullest. Amidst all this, the one other thing that has taken a back seat is our ‘health’. Our daily routine is confined to waking up, rushing to work, sitting on our desk all day, rushing back home and sleeping. There is no space or time to do anything interesting or indulging in any form of physical activity. Having said this, while, Indians are striving to be healthy, chronic lifestyle diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, hypertension etc. are a cause for concern. The only solution is ‘Exercising’ and being physically active, as it can lower your risk for serious health problems. Being physically active can do lots of wonders. Whatever your age, health limitations, or fitness levels, you can develop an exercise program that’s fun and rewarding and fits your life. If you’re not ready to commit to a structured exercise program, think about physical activity as a lifestyle choice rather than a single task to check off your to-do list.  What physical activity could be better than Walking? Unlike other sports or workouts, walking is simple and easy. All it requires is comfortable clothing and walking shoes. A minimum of 30 minutes’ walk a day can help you lead a quality life. Walking also comes with several health benefits. It lowers your risk for serious health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and high blood pressure. It can also trim your figure, improve your sleep. And not only is exercise good for your body, but it’s also good for your mind, mood, and memory might also help lift your mood.
