11. Increase Muscle Tone

Walking is a form of exercise that can be done by pretty much anyone, and it takes less time to recover from it, which is why it’s one of the best ways to build up muscle tone. Walking utilizes almost all major parts of your body, so the muscles in your back, thighs, midriff, bottom, are all getting a workout. And that’s not all, the results you see from walking are long-lasting, especially when you continue with it regularly. In fact, if you were to walk the entire recommended 1,000 steps a day (especially if you add in a few uphill steps), it would be equal to a gym workout!
