If you don’t want to hit the gym or purchase equipment for your home, walking is the easiest low-impact exercise. The key to this particular exercise is to challenge yourself to walk faster and faster and also by moving your arms more exaggeratedly as you go. You can also do interval training to increase the challenge, which proves to be an effective calorie burner. This can be done by walking as fast as you can for one minute followed by two minutes of a slower pace for recovery, back and forth, for at least thirty minutes total.

I do love to walk, so this is a good solution for me. How many times a week should one do this? Every day or every other day?
And do you think running is better than walking? I am a bit concerned with the impact on my knees. However it seems like that might be the best cardio for me.
Thanks!
