Chapter four walk
Walking is a basic movement we use every day. Walking exercise is just the increment we make in a number of daily steps. You might need 20 steps to get from your bed to the kitchen, while 1 hour walk will earn you thousands of steps. Find a nice place near your home or your work place with flat terrain, straight path or any other suitable place of your choice. Remember it should be around you to avoid the excuses you might use later, too far, no time …
-wear suitable walking shoes. The footwear is important to avoid foot injury
-find a park near your home or work. Most cities park are flat and you don’t have traffic from cars
-indoor you can use treadmill set at slow speed
After a sedentary period you need to start out with shorter distance and time. Be specific on your target and write your goals in notebook or diary. Say you start 30 minutes twice or 3 times a week. you should progressively move to 60 minutes after a month of exercise.
Like in all your daily task, you need a strong mental attitude. You can’t give up on walking. If you need music to keep you entertained while you are walking get a music player. Let your mind roll freely about stuff that are going on your life.
Because you need hydration as car need fuel, drink water before you start exercise. You can carry a small bottle of water at hand always throughout your exercise, and hydrate anytime needed. Locate a bathroom somewhere you can ease yourself in case you need it.
Your walk should be divided in two if you are walking in a long track, so will be your time too. You walk 15 minutes from point A to point B, you will need another 15 minutes to walk back to point A. So keep this in mind and avoid being stranded with no strength to walk back.
