Walking & Your Feet

Walking improves cardiovascular fitness. As an aerobic exercise, walking gets the heart beating faster to transport oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the muscles. The heart and lungs grow more efficient with a regular walking regimen, reducing blood pressure and the resting heart rate. Walking is even a central element of medical rehabilitation. Recovery from many ailments, including heart attack, is facilitated by a regular walking regimen.

When you do walk, it is important to be wearing the appropriate shoe for protection, support, and comfort. The Advanced Footcare Clinic has an in-house shoe specialist that is more than willing to assist you in selecting the right shoe for you. Please call the office - 419-423-1888 - for an appointment!
