Walking sideeffects
I walk 12 km daily from morning till night sleep since last year to stay fit and to maintain my weight. I got great result too . I don't have any pain in my knees or any part of the body. But I want to know walking this much daily can be harmful for my knees or back in a long run? Pls suggest how many km daily walk is ideal to maintain weight and safe against any orthopedic damage.

Don't over exert yourself. Walking is a good exercise. Add non weight bearing exercises like swimming and cycling if possible. Your body will indicate fatigue and wear and tear with starting of pain
