Walking – it’s the simplest thing you can do to give yourself a workout. Keep in mind that moving is improving. Even 15 minutes a day can start you on the way to an activity habit.
Walking is the easiest choice when the weather is agreeable, but don’t let a little rain or light snow keep you indoors.
Here are some tips to get the most out of it:
Getting into the activity habit is easiest if you choose a specific time each day. If you are a morning person, that might be before you go to work or after the kids are off to school.
Not a morning person? A walk on your lunch break will work up an appetite and help your digestion.
Alternatively, if evening is the best time for you, schedule your walk after dinner and evening chores are completed.
The important thing is to decide on the best time for you and try not to allow other things to get in the way.
Look at your walk as an enjoyable break in your day – a time when there are no chores to do or deadlines to meet. Breathe deeply. Look up at the sky, the trees and the rooftops. Smile. Life gets better when you fit in a walk.
