[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course it's much better than being entirely sedentary! But it's like saying "drink water instead of soda" to someone who lives on fast food. It's not a bad advice, but there are significantly greater gains you can make if you also do some other things. Cardiovascular fitness has become the thing we think of as the low-hanging fruit for people who want to incorporate movement into their lives, but doing some kind of strength training is very important, particularly as you get older and especially for older women, in terms of preserving health and quality of life. Many people think of walking as something approachable and normal, and doing strength training as something that's niche/not for them. But it's great and it's for everyone!
