How much do you walk daily? For many of us our lifestyles often do not involve a lot or enough walking. What does your lifestyle look like? Could you benefit from walking more?
Walking is such an easy and effective way to support a more healthier active lifestyle
Here are some simple tips on how you can find ways each day to increase the amount you walk. We hope that to helps you to make change and walk more.
Incorporate More Walking into your Daily Routine
- Getting to and from work/or an outing. Could you walk to work or the outing? If you drive or use public transport could you park or get off further away from your destination and walk.
- Throughout your day or work day – walk in your breaks. Have a walking meeting or catch up. Take regular walking breaks from your desk/computer or activities. Always use the stairs when you can
- Structure your day to enjoy a walk
- before or after work, or at a regular time in your day… can you get up a little earlier and enjoy a walk? Do you have time during or at the end of the day? It can sometimes feel hard to find energy for a walk… but more than often walking will give you a lift rather that deplete you of energy.
- if you have a more flexible lifestyle… create a plan for the day or week and set a time for your walking. If you plan for it, it is more likely to not slip from your day. Choose to walk in places that you like – on trails, at the beach…
- To help keep up your motivaton for walking and keeping it interesting you could vary your walking and or join others for a walk… friends or maybe a walking group.
- Use technology to assist with your routine & motivation. Set reminders on your phone to get up and walk. Record your daily walking by counting the number of steps or distances completed, trails achieved. Set walking goals and use technology to determine if you reach the goals.
- Do not let weather deter you from your daily walking. Dress for the weather for walking outdoors or remember you can find spaces indoors to walk even if it is a simple circuit in your home… like the hall and around the dining table, stairs if you have them are great for a quick 15 min session indoors.
