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.
Set Realistic Goals: Aim for 20 to 40 minutes of walking five days a week. Having achievable goals will keep you motivated.
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.
WeatherProof Your Walks: If the weather isn’t ideal, consider walking indoors at local malls, exercise facilities, or community centers.
Variety is Key: Create several walking routes to prevent boredom. Variety keeps things interesting and encourages you to stick with your routine.
