Walking as an exercise is always a winner; and the beauty of
it is that everybody is doing it at least once a day for whatever reason!
You can walk anywhere, anytime. Use a treadmill or hit the
streets. All you need is a good pair of shoes.
Another benefit is that you do not have to allocate special time
of your already packed day to fit in walking - just do what I do; I walk to
work and back every day! Ok, I know, I have the benefit that my work is only 4
km from my home whilst many are not that lucky.
Therefore, for those who have to allocate specific time for exercise
every day, here is how it works: For a beginning start with five to ten minutes
at a time. Increase the time with about 2 minutes for each walk until you reach
about 30 minutes per walk - you can then stick to these 30 minutes for a month
and there after consider adding some more time per walk - it is up to you. But
30 minutes a day of brisk walking is more than sufficient.
Enjoy it but please look after your safety during walking
and the best advice is to have somebody walking with you!
