Walking Anyone?
Going walking is one of the activities I love to do. Most of the time, I go walking in the neighborhood. For some reason, it does not feel like something I have to force myself to do, maybe because I enjoy it so much. It is a lot easier when it doesn’t take so much convincing like when I have to go for a workout in the gym.
What’s more, I had no idea that taking a thirty-minute walk everyday had so many benefits. It not only builds your cardiovascular system, it burns calories. I was reading an article by Dr. Don Colbert, a renowned health and nutritional expert, and he recommended a thirty-minute walk everyday to one of his patients, and she lost fifty pounds in one year. Though, he also said that not everyone’s body responds in the same way. Another thing he emphasized was that when you are walking, “walk slow enough to talk and fast enough so you cannot sing.” It is amazing how some statements just stay with you. Nowadays, I test myself with headphones to check my optimum speed when walking. I believe everyone should take advantage of this easy workout, since it requires no special workout gear, no driving, and saves time.
In the end, you may not have thirty minutes to walk everyday but starting with once a week is a great start.
