Walking For Health: Getting
Started --AARP
Walking. It's easy, it's cheap, it gets you where you want to go. And it's good for your health! Yet many of us — often without even thinking about it — take the car, the escalator, or the moving walkway rather than use our own two legs and feet for transportation. This results in daily missed opportunities for physical activity. Walking is an excellent form of physical activity, particularly because of its versatility. Almost anyone can do it anywhere. You can be any age and at any fitness level. You can walk outdoors or indoors. Like other forms of physical activity, walking can help you get in shape, maintain your weight, reduce stress, improve your outlook on life, and even lower your risk for chronic illness. At a minimum, aim for a brisk 30-minute walk five days a week. If you're pressed for time, you can do two 15-minute walks or even three 10-minute walks. So what are you waiting for? Grab a friend, get out, and start walking! -more info |
