It was David Henry Thoreau who said “an early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day”. And we are here to agree with him! Start each morning with a power walk and you will feel the benefits all day long. Here’s why.
Boost Your Mood
Getting outside first thing in the morning can do wonders for your mental well-being. Being out in nature, breathing fresh air, and getting to watch the rest of the world wake up is always a happy way to start the day. Plus, you can listen to your favorite mood-boosting podcast or playlist.
Improve Your Fitness
Power walking is great for improving stamina, flexibility, and strengthening your muscles. It can also help with healthy weight loss goals and is a super satisfying way to get your exercise for the day done before 9 am! Be sure to walk briskly for at least 30 minutes 5 days a week.
Feel Energized
Studies show that people who take a morning walk feel more energized and have more mental clarity and focus during their working day. So put down your phone and coffee, pop your trainers on, and head out the door instead!
Improve Your Posture
Sitting all day at a desk can be very harmful to our posture and can often lead to back, neck, and shoulder pain. Walking each morning is fantastic for your bone and muscle health and helps to reduce aches and pains. Doing some stretching after your walk will also help avoid that bad back.
