I am 72 years old male living in Chennai. I am 62 kgs in weight. I am not a diabetic. My current question for clarification is regarding WALKING. I am a regular walker in the park daily. I walk as follows: Daily morning for 60 minutes - Distance covered: approximately 7500 mtrs in 15 rounds at the rate of 500 mtrs a round. Time taken per round: Minimum 4 minutes Plus / Minus Please note I take walking similarly in the evening too daily. Kindly let me know whether my walking is sufficient or I have to either decrease or increase my daily walk. Kindly also let me know if I can continue evening walk. I AM A FAST WALKER and not a Jogger. Thanks for your advice.

I think its ok. Only thing to remember is you should not feel any discomfort or exhaustion during or after walking.

First of congratulations to remain dynamic in this age. Normally people of this age are not so dynamic. Of course you are doing great. It is sufficient and keeps you away from diseases. You can continue. IN this age walking is better than jogging to avoid injuries. Happy walking! carry on!
