參考譯文：
行走就像游泳、騎自行車和跑步一樣，是一種有氧運(yùn)動(dòng)，可以通過給皮膚和肌肉增加供氧而塑造更大的肺活量和耐力。這樣的運(yùn)動(dòng)可能是防止心臟和血液循環(huán)疾病的一個(gè)主要因素。
作為可能是最不費(fèi)力氣、最安全的有氧運(yùn)動(dòng)，絕大多數(shù)人認(rèn)為行走可以接受。以舒適的速度行走可以通過激活肺部和心臟增強(qiáng)心肺系統(tǒng)的效率，但比起大多數(shù)其他的鍛煉形式，行走的速度更為舒緩。
在一項(xiàng)測試中，一組40到57歲的男子每周4天快速行走40分鐘，與同樣年齡每周同期進(jìn)行3次30分鐘慢跑的男子收到了同樣的改善效果。他們的正常心率和身體脂肪明顯降低。這些變化表明行走可以帶來重要的，甚至是關(guān)鍵的益處。
行走也可以燃燒熱量。獲得或失去一磅重量需要消耗3 500卡熱量。因?yàn)橐灾械人俣茸咭恍r(shí)的路程將會(huì)消耗300到360卡的熱量。每隔一天行走一小時(shí)，則每月可以減去一磅半的脂肪，或者說一年可以減去18 磅脂肪，只要您每日攝入的食物量不變。為了更快減去體重，每天行走一小時(shí)，那么每月就可以減去3磅脂肪，一年就是36磅。
不管您的年齡有多大，現(xiàn)在都應(yīng)該花同樣時(shí)間考慮身體和養(yǎng)老金或保險(xiǎn)。行走是一種關(guān)鍵的抵御疾病和抗衰老的方法。它是自然界給您的一種調(diào)整的方式。
