Emerging Fitness Trend Emphasizes Gentle Movement; Experts Highlight Footwear Impact on Joint Health

Recent fitness trends emphasize gentle, low-intensity movement, known as 'Zone Zero' training, which involves activities like slow walking and light stretching that keep heart rates below 50% of maximum and are easy to sustain. This approach is gaining popularity for its accessibility and health benefits. Separately, experts warn that improper footwear can strain joints and contribute to chronic pain and posture issues over time, highlighting the importance of choosing supportive shoes to protect long-term mobility and joint health.
