Walk of Life
Putting one foot in front of another is simple, convenient and great for body and mind. .
◆Make it a habit
Set a goal of 30 minutes five days a week. If you walk quickly, this will give you your recommended 150 minutes a
week of moderate exercise, bringing you better fitness and the mental health benefits of beingoutdoors. .
◆Warm up and down
Start every walk with five minutes at an easy pace to get your body warmed up and do the same thing again at the end. This allows your heart rate to speed up and slow down gradually.
◆Walk and talk
Stepping out regularly with a partner, friend or family member is much more fun than going it alone. Or make that long catch-up call when you're out and about.
◆To keep your walk interesting, increase your pace every ten to 15 minutes and do a three-minute surge. Imagine you' re trying to catch up with someone ahead. Climb up a hill from time to time for a challenge. To burn fat, do some bursts of fast walking early on in your walk.
