Starting a fitness program does not have to
be a high maintenance ordeal. Making the transition from sedentary
to activity is a matter of matching your interests to your exercise
regimen. For the anti-fitness enthusiast – starting a new fitness
regimen can be scheduling regular walks into your daily routine.
At work and home, find an excuse to walk. Besides, its serves
three purposes in one: 1) It saves on fuel, 2) It’s good for
your body 3) And it’s a way to fit activity into your routine.
Use
the following tips to make walking a part of your daily routine:
1) Choose
a time of day to walk that is conducive with your daily schedule.
Use the stairs at home and work opposed to an elevator. Note
that early morning walks can be quite refreshing with abounding
Vitamin D from UV rays. Take advantage of your lunch hour for
one mile walk (20 minutes).
2) Choose
good scenic paths to walk. For the most oxygen inhalation, walk
in areas chock full of greenery (grass, trees)
3) Factor
in thirty minutes to an hour of walking. Start with a mile and
work your way up to three miles a day.
4) The
pace of your walk should be brisk opposed to leisurely. It will
offer the advantage of cardiovascular activity.
5) To maintain
your passion to walk – mix it up. Do not walk the same direction
each time. Keeping exercise fun means switching up your routine
so that you don’t even notice that you’re working out.
6) Bring
the accessories. If you love music or want to listen to get
lost in your favorite audio book, your walk is a good time to
take advantage of the time. Tote your IPOD, MP3 player or walkman
to tune out the world around you. |
