Walk the walk
Simple walking is enough to get you started on the road to health. Try to walk 3 to 5 times a week for at least 1/2 an hour. You don’t have to be a marathon runner or an Olympic athlete to achieve optimal health. Just follow these tips and start walking!
1. Stretch
Remember to stretch for 5 minutes before and after exercise to lengthen
muscle fibers, strengthen tendons and ligaments, and prevent injury.
2.Master the stairs
Add stairs to your walk to bump up your heart rate and tone your muscles.
You can do this anywhere—at home, office, or public buildings and parks.
3. Head for the hills
Another great way to add intensity for increasing your heart rate and
building your muscles is to walk up some hills.
4. Take some company
Round up the family or a friend (or portable music!) to help you stick to
your routine, enforce healthy habits, and enjoy yourself!
