When you think of fitness walkers, do you conjure images of silver haired seniors getting their daily cardio? Or do you picture a younger person with bulging biceps, six-pack abs, and phone in hand carefully monitoring their step count? It turns out, both images would be representative of the millions of Americans who walk on a regular basis.
It’s little wonder then that the Centers for Disease Control deemed walking the most popular cardiovascular exercise in America. Between 2005 and 2015 the number of women who regularly walk increased from 57.3 percent of the population to 65.1 percent. For men, the percentage increased from 54.3 to 62.8.
