We all know we need to exercise several times a week but we may not realize why we need to. I feel like so many people believe they have to go to the gym or to some sort of class in order to get in some exercise. The truth is it’s as easy as taking a walk. That rite, just walking. It’s one of the best forms of movement for our bodies we can do and it doesn’t require any equipment or personal trainer. We don’t have to go very far before our heart rate is elevated! The goal with walking is to keep a steady pace and use our arms as well as our legs. If you haven’t done any exercise in a while you may want to try walking around the inside of your house a few times and if you have stairs try going up and back down a few times too. When you are ready to move on take it outside around your neighborhood and it won’t be long before you are walking several neighborhoods.
Here are a few good reasons to start moving right now!
