Walking is still an excellent form of exercise that any physician will recommend especially if you have problems with other physical activities. For someone who doesn't exercise that much, a half hour walking program every day would soon see results in breathing, slower heartbeat to name but a few. If you have been walking fast, walk slowly or stretch for a few minutes to cool down.
So you do not become bored, it always worth finding different locations to walk or varying the routes and if at all possible ask someone to join you as the time will pass faster and it will be more enjoyable. In fact there is a growing popularity for machines that can be used to mimic ordinary physical activities like walking, running, cycling and even skiing.
