According to Medical News Today, titled Walking 100 Minutes Per Day May Help Lower Risk of Chronic Back Pain , researchers have found that walking for just 100 minutes a day can significantly reduce your risk of chronic lower back pain. But this insight runs deeper than muscle relief—it’s a powerful reminder of how consistent, mindful action impacts not only our health but our ability to lead ourselves.
