Side Effects of Excessive Walking and How to Manage Them

Walking is a good way to stay healthy, but if you walk too much you can get hurt.

You might feel pain in old knees, get blisters, feel very tired, or even feel sad or angry.

Doctors say you should start with short walks, like 15 minutes, and slowly add more time.

After a while you can walk 30 minutes at a faster pace.

It’s also good to do other exercises like lifting weights or stretching.

If you notice breathing hard, swelling, or bad mood, stop and rest.

This helps you keep walking safely and enjoy the benefits.
