Walking has a lot of health benefits. It strengthens the heart, burns calories, eases joint pain, it reduces the risk of developing a cold, it helps to improve your mood, it helps to clear your head, it helps you think creatively… Walking seems like a great habit we can easily do to boost our health. The best of all is that is for free!
During this week, make time to go for a walk after dinner. Start the first day with 10 minutes. Add every day 5 more minutes until you reach 30 minutes. This week, try to be more conscious about walking. If you use public transport to go where you need to go, step out one or two stations before and walk the rest. If you work in an office, go for a walk during the lunch break. If you live close to your work, walk instead of using the bike one day of this week. When you are outside walking, don’t listen to music. Put away your phone and any distraction. Walk mindfully. Looking around, taking in the fresh air.
The goal of this week is to walk every day. If you like the benefits of walking, you can add walking into your daily routine. You can park (your car or bike) farther away from your office than usual and walk the rest. Consider walking instead of driving when you run errands. You can complete your tasks and fit in exercise at the same time.
