Walking

Walking is an easy, low-impact way to burn off calories, tone your muscles, reduce your risk of chronic diseases and improve your cardiovascular health! It is a convenient form of exercise, which can be carried out anywhere and at anytime of the
day!

THE 10,000 STEPS RULE

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) say  that you should take at least 10,000 steps a day to gain the benefits of walking. That is around five miles day. Here are some tips on how to get more walking into your daily routine.

1. WALK WHENEVER YOU CAN
If you need to run a few errands why not take walk to get them done if they are within walking distance? You can burn around 60 calories in about 15 minutes when you walk at a moderate pace and about 70 at a brisk pace. Take the stairs instead of the elevator/escalator and park at the rear end of the car park at work or the mall and take advantage of that added distance. These may seem like small tasks but those extra steps will definitely benefit you.

2. GET A PEDOMETER
Keep track of all of the steps you manage to take with a low-cost pedometer. A recent study by the Stanford
University reports that those people who use pedometers and set daily goals walk much more than people who don’t have one.

3. MOVE TO THE MUSIC
Research shows that medium-tempo/speed music can keep you motivated through your walk; so when you get to do some
walking, put your headphones in and listen to your favorite play list. Try a podcast workout and get advice from a trainer and instructions along with your music. Great fun!

4. GET A GROUP
See if your friends are up for the challenge to help you get through the toughest times. We all know there is nothing better then the company of our nearest and dearest friends to support you through a tough workout. Meeting up once a week motivates you more than having to do it solo. Grab your mates, start up your mega walking group, and keep adding to the list. You're not only
helping yourself but others too.

5. WALK FOR A CAUSE OR CHARITY
Look out for charity walks; like The Breast Cancer 3 Day which is a 60-mile walk over a duration of three days that raises money for breast cancer research. Check out 'The Walking Site' for more events through the year. It's just as easy to find events if you use the internet.
