Study: About 60% Of Adults Walk For Leisure

58.7% of American adults have taken a walk in the last week just for leisure, data from the 2022 National Health Interview Survey found. Those with higher incomes were more likely to walk for fun. 16.2% of American adults walked for transportation, and this percentage fell as income rose. “For many people, walking is considered a relatively easy and accessible physical activity for achieving health benefits,” the report’s authors wrote.
