How does power walking benefit you?

Answer by  technogeek (6640)

Power walking is basically running but with less impact than running and less stress on the joints. It gets the heart rate up and is a good fat burning exercise.

Power walking benefits you by getting your heartrate up, but not as high as say jogging, it isn't as tough on your knees, but you still burn calories.

It is a decent cardiovascular exercise, and improves your endurance and heart health. It can also increase your leg strength, to a degree.

It burns calories, and elevates your heart rate slightly, leading to a small increase in cardiovascular capacity. It's a good exercise for anyone who is out of shape.
