These Boots are Made for Walkin!

After a walk I feel so refreshed, physically and mentally! Not in boots of course 🙂

The benefits of walking seem endless:

• Improves overall health
• Burn calories
• Strengthen your heart
• Lower blood pressure,
• Lower cholesterol,
• Decrease chance of diabetes
• Lower inflammation
• Decrease mental stress
• Burns calories
• Strengthens your heart
• Eases joint pain
• Improves circulation
• Boost immune system

I know that there are plenty more!

A common recommendation is to walk 10,000 steps a day! To some that can be hard to do. Thankfully, My Fitness Pal has a great blog on how you can walk more. Some that I did not even think about:

• Plug your phone in to charge in the farthest room in the house and walk back and forth to check messages and make calls.
• Plan walking meetings! Movement helps boost creativity.
• Organize a scavenger hunt!

Personally, love walking with a friend! I get my steps in, catch up with my pal and the time flies by! Couple things I have learned are:

• Always be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes that support your heel and arch
• Drink plenty of water before and after your walk
• And wear sunscreen during those hot months, even on cloudy days

Do you have any walking tips you can share?

Have a great day, and stay peachy!
