　　Speed walking has now become part of my daily routine for six years.I am always keen to do it regularly without a break.Even though I am neither a physician nor a specialist in medical science, I am fully aware that exercise, especially speed walking, helps maintain health and lowers the chance of falling ill.

　　I usually walk at a speed of 1 km per 8.5 minutes.It will initially make you tired.However, over time it will become a habit and an addiction.

　　This type of exercise will help you mentally, will also help you sleep and give you an appetite.It will make you physically fit and help burn fat.Speed walking makes you healthy and everyone can find time to walk.The problem is that some people do not plan their days and do not, therefore, find time.We can gain health and social benefits from speed walking.It will help change our lifestyles, fight diabetes, obesity and other illnesses.
