Want to take a simple step towards getting fitter? Walk fast - "Fast walkers can live up to 20 years longer." The International Journal of Obesity, found that slow walkers are 2.5 times more likely to develop severe Covid-19, and 3.75 times more likely to die from it than faster walkers – even among those of a healthy weight.
