way to fit activity into your routine. Use
the following tips to make walking a part of your daily routine:
1) Choose a time
of day to walk that is conducive with your daily schedule. Use
the stairs at home and work opposed to an elevator. Note that
early morning walks can be quite refreshing with abounding Vitamin
D from UV rays. Take advantage of your lunch hour for one mile
walk (20 minutes).
2) Choose good scenic
paths to walk. For the most oxygen inhalation, walk in areas
chock full of greenery (grass, trees)

minutes to an hour of walking. Start with a mile and work your
way up to three miles a day.

passion to walk – mix it up. Do not walk the same direction
each time. Keeping exercise fun means switching up your routine
so that you don’t even notice that you’re working out.

audio book, your walk is a good time to take advantage of the
time. Tote your IPOD, MP3 player or walkman to tune out the
world around you. |
