Benefits of Walking
Staying in shape at any age is sometimes daunting. When you’re over 50 it’s harder to keep the pounds off. It’s even more difficult to get rid of the menopause belly. However, there is a simple way to start working off the pounds and belly. It’s putting one foot in front of the other and reap the benefits of walking.
Walking as an exercise is underrated by many of us. The benefits of walking are worth giving up 30 minutes of your day. Recently, I started a 30-30-30 Walk Challenge with friends, family, and colleagues. The rules are short and straightforward. We vowed to walk at least 30 consecutive minutes for 30 straight days. At the end of 30 days, each person completes 30 walks. When the challenge ended, participants’ testimonies range from losing weight or inches to feeling more energetic. Several of us continued the challenge after the 30 days ended.
Great motivational article to benefit everyone regardless of age. I always tell people that walking is free and it uses the body’s natural ability to push and move forward. Also the heart and lungs get a workout as well. I feel that walking is therapeutic as it clears the head by getting the endorphins moving.
Yes, walking is free and a great way to release stress. When I do my walks, I think aloud and work out some things in my life.
