For the last three weeks, I have enjoyed the lighter hours, semi-warm mornings and the sounds of nature during my walks. Seeing the colors of flowers that are popping up everyday has led to thoughts of what I could do for my garden/yard. My stress level has decreased, I am much calmer and not hating my routine, torturous workouts. I realized that walking is something that all able bodied people can do and it can keep you from being cooped up in stale air.
This is the easiest form of exercise and it doesn’t cost a thing. You can walk in practically anything, although you should have a good pair of walking shoes or sneakers (I don’t have to worry about being a runway fashion plate, like in the gym). Walking can be done alone or with a group (I don’t have to push myself harder than the next person on the treadmill). Most mornings I walk by myself to clear my head and get some fresh air before my work day begins or have my conversation with God. However, in the evenings, I walk with my husband and daughter. Normally we walk to the library or park. During this time we catch up on each other’s day, as well as, just enjoy being together.
Most trainers suggest 30 minutes of steady, consistent walking per day to get the benefits of better health. Some people add weights, use walking poles and even circuit training while they are walking. My tip is to just walk at a moderate pace, enjoy the scenery and commune with nature. In no time, you will not only see weight loss, but will see your lung capacity increase from all that fresh air, as well as, longer, leaner legs. My walks usually take an hour, as I walk until I get to 30 minutes and then I walk back to my original destination. That way, I get a fair amount of exercise. My legs look incredible and I will be wearing shorts this summer....
Please let me know if you have any walking tips or suggestions or just let me know what you think about while you are walking. I am always on the lookout for ways to remain healthy and vibrant.
Peace and Love,
