Heading out for a walk is great for our hearts and mental well-being … all that lovely fresh air and a stretch of the legs is a pleasure. Here are some fun walking facts!
- The longest walk around the world was completed by a former neon-sign salesman, Jean Beliveau. He walked 46,600 miles around 64 countries. The trip took him 11 years.
- Walking sideways burns 78 percent more calories than walking forward. Lateral motion takes extra effort by putting your body to work in unfamiliar ways. You might look a bit like crab doing it though!
- Racewalking has been an official Olympic sport for over 90 years. Distances vary from 1 mile to 95 miles.
- It would take, on average, 1 hour and 43 minutes of walking to burn off a 540-calorie Big Mac, put the burger down!
