Walk, walk, walk!
Do you know that walking is good for the body? From a health perspective, walking is the key to managing weight, controlling blood pressure, and reducing the risk of a stroke, breast cancer, diabetes and myriad other ailments. A daily brisk walk lengthens your life, decreases risk of depression and elevates your mood and sense of well-being.
I know some of you feels lazy when it comes to walking. Here are some tips to keep you going:
- Get a walking buddy and commit to meet each week at a set time.
- Get a dog and you’ll have a constant walking companion.
- Choose a location that is picturesque but accessible.
- Start with a moderate walk, then increase the pace and distance.
- Include some hills and stairs.
Remember, whether you stroll, saunter, amble or stride, walking is good for you.
