Walking is a great way to add movement to your day and form those healthy habits we all need. How can you add steps to your day?
--Walk after meals. You not only get some steps in but walking after eating can improve digestion, help manage blood sugar levels, reduce the risk of heart disease, regulate blood pressure, and promote weight loss!
-Walk and talk! If you have a long call to make or a friend to catch up with, hit one of our local greenways or just walk around your neighborhood.
-Find ways to walk at work. Maybe walk during your lunch break or use a bathroom farther away from your desk. Skip the elevator and take the stairs.
-Chores add up. Mowing the lawn, gardening, mopping the floor, and vacuuming can be great forms of cardio. You’ll also end up with a clean home!
-Park farther away from the door. Deliberately choose a parking space that requires more walking.
-Find a walking buddy or group. Ask friends to join you for a nice outing.
-If the weather is bad, turn on an audiobook or your favorite tunes and make laps inside your house.
