题目

It's so simple and convenient that it couldn't possibly count (算作) as exercise, right? Wrong. Studies shows that regular walking can help you lose weight and reduce risk of heart disease. If you don't believe us, then trust the research. In a study published in Diabetes Research in Clinical Practice, Japanese researchers tested fat men before and after they joined a one-year  walking plan. All they did was up the number of steps they took during their daily activities, such as walking from the car to the grocery store（杂货店）. The result is: their blood pressure and cholesterol （胆固醇）levels improved and the amount of body fat around their abdomen（腹部） -- the dangerous kind of fat that leads to higher rates of heart disease and diabetes -- decreased. That's good news, because walking has now become the most popular fitness activity in the United States. Convenient, simple, and gentle on the joints（关节）, walking is perhaps the easiest form of exercise to take. According to studies, four out of five women who start a walking program continue to walk, while half of women who attempt other types of exercise, such as swimming, drop out during the first few months. In addition, research has shown that walking regularly is better than running for your health and for losing weight. 1.
