Yes, any activity that gets children active can be a good thing. Walking is the easiest and cheapest way to keep fit.

Hi,

Aside from weight-related benefits, walking (and other forms of exercise too) helps in building stronger bones and muscles and decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

A simple walk can do wonders by shooting down stress levels and keeping the body healthy. Walking is safe, simple, doesn’t require practice, and the health benefits are many.

I would like to add following to the discussion.

Brisk walking not only helps you lose weight but keeps you happy. When one walks, the enodorphin levels in the body rise, which controls the mood of a person and keeps him in a good frame of mind.

thumbs up

Walking has benefits as the child may sleep better at night having had plenty exercise during the day (which is good news for the parents !) lol

Facts reveal that walking does not only slim fat bellies, but also reduces the risk of a heart attack, manages our diabetes, keeps you happy and active and helps relieving stress at the same time.

Walking helps patients recover much faster than they do otherwise. People who walk regularly build up the stamina which no medicine can give them.

Hi all,

Looks like everyone's on the same page. smile

Now, the challenge is, how do you make exercise fun (to the baby, mommy, daddy, siblings and babysitters)?

We are talking about walking our babies here, right?

Walking (ang excercise for this matter) helps in the child's physical development --- strength, balance and motor skills --- and consequently stimulating the child's cognitive development.
