If you’re just starting out exercising, walking may be just the activity that you need to participate in. During this blog post, I’m going to give you some ideas of how to set up your own walking schedule so that you can continue to improve and get in shape.
First, realize the benefits that walking offers. If you walk for three hours every week, you can help to decrease your risk for heart disease. Walk for seven hours each week, and you can also decrease your risk for type II diabetes and breast cancer.
For the first week, walk at least five days for about fifteen minutes. Be consistent! This is the beginning of what is a good habit to have, and you want to start out on the right foot (no pun intended).
Each following week, add five minutes of walking a day. In just four weeks, you’ll be walking approximately 125-150 minutes every week!
Are you ready to start walking??
