Fitness walking is the perfect low impact workout for so many reasons—it’s free, accessible to everyone, and you can do it whenever you can. But before you embark on your walking adventures, here are a few things to know about fitness walking.
Walking Shoes
Walking is free and you certainly won’t have to spend a lot of money on this hobby, but we strongly recommend buying good walking shoes. Walking shoes are very comfortable and lightweight, so they’ll prevent any injuries like blisters.
Challenge Yourself
Walking and fitness walking are not the same thing, so if your workouts are easy and you have no trouble talking while you walk, maybe you need to push yourself harder. Set some goals and measure your time and distance in order to build speed and burn more calories.
Change Your Surroundings
The best thing about walking is that you can do it literally anywhere, which means your workouts will never get stale. In case you get bored with your usual scenery, make sure to find new trails and use the opportunity to explore your neighborhood.
