Is walking as effective as running.

Dear lybrate user. Walking is the best and safe way of exercise. Researchers found that people who expended the same amount of calories saw many of the same health benefits. Regardless of whether they were walking or running, individuals saw a reduced risk of hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, and improved better cardiovascular health. And running does have downsides: it puts more stress on the body and increases the risk for injuries like runner's knee, hamstring strains, and shin splits (which plague even the most consistent runners).

Walking definitely helps but it should b continuous on a daily basis at least for a year.
