Try it today, tomorrow, and all year!
It’s new year’s resolution time! Believe in them or not, it’s worth joining up with The American College of Sports Medicine’s Every Body Walk initiative. You can pledge here: everybodywalk.org/pledge—accountability always helps!
Walking is great for health and a slew of other reasons: economics, environmental benefits, student achievement and more. Walking is available to nearly everyone, costs nothing, and integrates easily into everyday life. Walking can provide solitude, connection with your surroundings, or quality time with others.
Experts suggest:
- parking a bit further away
- taking the stairs
- walking to a co-worker’s desk instead of emailing across the room
- lunch break walking
- walking meetings
- walking dates instead of coffee or drinks
- finding other strategies to work walking into your activities of daily life.
Perhaps one of the best things about walking? Just try it: it’s contagious!
