Adherence

Walking as a mode of active commuting is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and mortality, but not all-cause mortality or cancer outcomes, compared to non-active commuting.

Walking to work is a great way to protect your heart. This study links walking to lower heart disease risk. However, it didn't significantly lower death rates or cancer risk like cycling did. If you can't cycle, walking is still a valuable health habit, especially if you walk longer distances.
