We asked five experts: Is walking enough exercise? Walking alone is simply not sufficient for most people, although it may provide a platform to more specific, intense exercise. Of course, this does not mean walking does not have benefits, but there are aspects of the health-promoting effects of exercise that walking alone cannot provide. Walking has been shown to have many physical health benefits and holds promise in alleviating depression. But you have to spend much more time walking: one minute of vigorous sport is worth 3.5 minutes of walking.
