I Need Help Walking

1. Start Slowly: If you’ve been inactive, begin gently with five to ten minutes of walking at a steady pace. Gradually increase your time and distance over a couple of weeks to months. Consistency is key.

2. Set Realistic Goals: Aim for 20 to 40 minutes of walking five days a week. Having achievable goals will keep you motivated.

3. Adjust Your Plan: Life can get busy, so think of ways to incorporate short walks into your day. Whether you’re traveling or working overtime, find opportunities to stay on track.

4. WeatherProof Your Walks: If the weather isn’t ideal, consider walking indoors at local malls, exercise facilities, or community centers.

5. Variety is Key: Create several walking routes to prevent boredom. Variety keeps things interesting and encourages you to stick with your routine.
