Walking shoes, a pedometer and a
walking routine. Your fast track to weight loss
A simple walking
program, a pedometer, and some quality walking shoes may be
as beneficial to you as an expensive treadmill or elliptical
trainer. Beginning a walking program and tracking it with a
pedometer is a wonderful way to start a fitness/weight loss
routine.
If your lifestyle is
supportive of a walking routine and your doctor approves,
this article will give you some ideas on how to get started
in your walking program. An elliptical trainer, cross
trainer, or treadmill may be better suited for you depending
on the time you have available, your climate, and other
conditions in your life.
 | Obtain a pedometer,
quality walking shoes, comfortable clothing, and a walking
log or journal |
| Start slowly. Enjoy
your time walking. |
| Have a long term goal
of 10,000 steps daily. (approximately 5 miles) |
| Increase your speed
and intensity only when ready |
| Walk at the mall on
rainy or cold days |
| Buy new walking shoes
before you need them |
| Have a walking
partner if possible |
| Enjoy your city parks
when possible |
| Carry water and drink
before you feel thirsty |
| Log your daily steps |
Exercise does not have
to be super intense to be beneficial. Walking is a great way
to get moving and burn extra calories. Walking on a daily
basis will lead to a lifelong habit that will bring you one
step closer to your goals.
Remember that losing
weight is simply a matter of burning more calories than you
consume. A daily walking routine can help you burn extra
calories. Make wise food choices and keep walking and you
will live a healthier, leaner life.
