Is walking an exercise?

20 Jan 2026

Walking is often dismissed as “just moving around.” Yet research shows it is one of the most accessible and effective forms of physical activity. It requires no equipment, minimal space, and can be done by people of almost any age or fitness level. In the Philippines, where non‑communicable diseases continue to rise, walking for leisure or as structured exercise plays an increasingly important role in supporting both individual and public health. This simple activity offers measurable benefits for longevity, cardiometabolic health, and overall wellness.
