Walk Your Way to Health
Monday, March 21, 2011
This past week was March break and we were fortunate enough to have a couple days of really great weather. When you get a couple of days of 15 and 16 degrees you can't help but get excited for the warmer weather. Now that spring is here officially it's easy to start thinking I want to get out and enjoy it.
Walking is one of the best forms of exercise there is. It is low impact so anyone can do it, it's easy, fun and can be done anywhere.
Benefits of Walking Just 30 Minutes a Day:
1) Natural Activity. It is a natural activity that we can all do, and with no special exercise equipment there really is no excuse not to do it.
2)It is the least expensive activity. It can be done anywhere, anytime.
3)Do it with a friend and form a lifetime of happy, healthy habits.
4)Strengthens the major muscles including core muscles which are very helpful for getting and maintaining good postural alignment.
5)Increases overall bone density.
6)Reduces the risk for cardiovascular disease, and helps to lower blood pressure.
7) Burns calories which is essential for weight loss and weight management.
8)Reduces stress.
9)Elevates Mood and energy levels.
Schedule your walks. Start with 10 minute walks and work your way up to 30 minutes. Make it a part of your every day routine. You will feel better, look better and be doing something healthy everyday. Even better, get your whole family involved and enjoy good health together:)
