Instead of driving everywhere, try “hoofing-it” whenever possible. Experts recommend taking 10,000 steps per day (2,000 steps is about one mile) through exercise and daily activities to improve overall health. Walking at a moderate pace burns over 200 calories per hour! Don’t let time drag you down, instead of eating a huge lunch, put together something light and easy and go for a walk during your work lunch break. You can either sip on a nutritious protein drink or snack on high quality fruits while burning calories on your lunch time walk. Remember that small changes make big differences in your life over the long haul.
Irrelevant of your starting point or current level of fitness, walking is an excellent addition to any program. Make it fun, add family or friends. But remember to walk a good pace.
