Heart and blood vessel specialist Dr. Dwita Rian Desandri, SpJP(K), said, when someone walks, the leg muscles need oxygen to move. With continuous use of oxygen, the heart becomes motivated to get enough oxygen and makes it train over time.
“That’s why it is said to be able to improve cardiorespiratory fitness. Cardio is the heart, respiration is breathing.
