Get Walking

Spring has finally arrived, which means it's time to dust off those walking shoes and go out for fresh air. Walking is the perfect exercise, because almost everyone can do regardless of fitness level. You can choose your pace and your distance and do not need any special skills or equipment. Follow these tips to make walking a regular part of your daily routine.

Choose the right shoe
While it is not necessary to buy a special pair of walking shoes, if you go often and now you may want to consider investing in a good pair. Normally, walking shoes will last about 300 to 500 miles, which means about three to six months for most walkers. Feet each are different so talk to a sales person to find the best shoe for you.

Use a pedometer
One of the best ways to increase your steps is the use of a pedometer. Why? Because most people who use pedometers control the number of steps they take and if they are below a certain number, you will get out and walk more. They do not realize how few steps you are getting until you actually see it with your own eyes. You should aim for 10,000 steps per day.

The objectives set
Determine the number of steps or miles you plan to walk every day. If you feel you could walk more than they are now watching their steps with a pedometer and aim for an extra 500 from next week. Once you reach that goal to add another 500. Use our physical activity log to monitor their achievements. It is important to do what you feel is right for you.

Start!
Do not wait. The first step is always the hardest, so with that in mind, get up now and walk around your house, around your yard or in your neighborhood. Taking the first step now and make a plan to do tomorrow even more.
