If you’re only going to be walking for 30 minutes, increase your speed. A leisurely

stroll isn’t going to give you that aerobic workout that your body needs, so step it up
a bit. But don’t overdo it. If you can’t talk and walk, you’re over-exerting yourself and

you should back off a bit.

You can also introduce some type of weight for you to carry when you walk. This
could be something simple like a small weight, or you can go to the pantry and pull
out a couple of cans of corn! Keep them in your hands as you walk and move your

arms back and forth in your strides. Adding weight will also help tone your arms –
an added perk!

If you’re walking outdoors, perhaps in your neighborhood, take along a walk-man

and play some upbeat music to keep you walking. Not only is it entertaining, it
keeps you going as well!

And remember, that all walking counts – even if it’s during a shopping trip to the

mall!

OTHER FORMS OF EXERCISE

There are all kinds of ways you can work exercise into your life. You can workout

anywhere doing all sort of things.

Playing with children, for example is a great way to get some exercise. When you
get down on the floor and play “horsey”, you are giving yourself a heck of a workout

– and it is fun for the kids!

Throw a ball around in the backyard and really get into it! Jump on a trampoline, or

just play tag! Exercise like this not only give you the physical benefits, it can remind
you of the joy of youth and put a real smile on your face!

At work, take the stairs instead of the elevator. When you park in a parking lot, park

as far away from the door as possible so you have to walk further.
