Walk to Stay Fit

A lot of people believe that not until you jog, run, do a strenous exercise, walk out at a gym or even be a weight lifter, they are not exercising. I wonder if you are among this majority. I want to say that this notion is completely wrong.

One very effective way of exercising is walking. You only need to increase your tempo in walking to achieve results. Instead of walking leasurely, you walk briskly. This is not even for a long distance for a long period of time. A brisk walk out of about thirty minutes every other day will do you much good.



What is the aim of exercising? Is it not to exercise your body and joints and in the process burn out some excess fats? Is it not to achieve a better state of health through intake of much more fresh air, increase blood circulation and the efficiency of the heart?

All the foregoing you can gain by regular walking. Your question may be "how do I start?."  Start anyhow. Choose a route with less traffic, less distraction and the safest. In the beginning, you do not have to overstretch yourself. Once you are getting tired, reduce your tempo and attempt to return to base.

You will feel some bit of reaction by way of tiredness from your body the following day. Do not be discouraged, still continue the next chosen day and with time you will get used to it as your body continues to love and adjust to the new regime of exercise.
