Walking is a low impact exercise with immense benefits. I have personally experienced the benefits of walking. A 30 minute brisk walk everyday can work miracles in our body. Let me list a few benefits of walking-Improves cardiovascular health
-Improves blood pressure-Prevents diabetes
-Helps in weight loss and prevents obesity
-Aids digestion -Improves sleep routine
-Alleviates stress
-Improves memory
-Increases the production of happy hormones
And the list is endless.
If you are new to walking here are a few tips
-Never give up for 21 days, it soon becomes a habit.
– Start with 15 minutes a day and slowly make it 30
.- A walking partner helps as it keeps us motivated
.-Walk at a speed that is slightly uncomfortable only then it becomes exercise.
It’s been 6 years now and what started as a boring and monotonous exercise is now an addiction with me. It is the time of the day I wait for. I’ve been extremely lucky with walking parners where we have interesting topics to talk on and time just flies past .
All I can say is , give it time and walking will become a part of your daily routine which you cannot do without. So , put on comfortable walking shoes and become a part of nature for at least 30 minutes a day. Good luck!!
