Those who say that walking doesn’t count as exercise obviously never gave it a chance to change their life. Walking is one of the most popular fitness activities for a good reason. It’s accessible to most, you can do it anywhere, and it will provide you with some amazing health benefits. Here are three things you can do to get the most out of your walks.
Make a Walking Schedule
If you make a plan and stick to it, you will soon discover that walking is something you can’t live without. You can plan different walks for different days of the week, make them longer or shorter, casual or more intense, etc. When you can’t walk outside because of the weather, do it on a treadmill at your home or at the nearby gym.
Explore Nature
Take any chance you can get to go outside of the city and explore nature by walking. Not only you’ll enjoy some fresh air and disconnect from the real world, but the terrain will make your body work harder than usual so you’ll do a great exercise session.
Prepare Music
Music can make any workout much more effective, so choose the tunes that work for you and have a walking playlist on hand. You can put your favorite songs in it and only listen to them when walking, which will motivate you to get outside more often.
