Tip #1 - Is walking part of your exercise program ? If so, why not take the dog along with you. Your dog will love the exercise ! Also, consider taking a "Voice Recorder" and map out your day/week with voice notes. Also, consider a "Hand Squeeze" exerciser......you can not only tone the legs and build cardio, but help tone the arms.
Tip #2 - Top Ten Reasons why Walking Is For Everyone
(Including "In-Home" walking)
1. You already know how to walk. You might not be able to master Underwater Sumo Wrestling, Advanced Yoga for Invertebrates (or whatever the fitness craze du jour...), but that one-foot-in-front of the other-thing is a no-brainer.
2. Walking is something we all do, all day, everyday - at any age. Walking is a total body workout that uses every major muscle group to help you burn calories, lose fat, achieve a firm, well-proportioned look, and boost your energy levels sky high.
3. You can get rid of the treadmill in the middle of the family room, if you can find it under all the junk. Oh, and how about those oversized rubber bands you were promised would take the bulge away. Pitch it all! Walk !!!!!!!
4. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, walking just 30 minutes a day three times a week reduces death from all causes by 55%!
5. Walking requires no fees or fancy equipment. It's really, really cheap.
6. With Walking you don't need to spend a fortune on those workout outfits. You can walk in your underwear - hey, you can even walk in your birthday suit!
7. With "In-home walking" you can reach your fitness goals while watching TV and never have to leave your living room. Is this exercise a dream, or what?
8. You can Walk anytime - 6 in the morning or 6 in the evening. If the weather is bad, walk indoors....it only takes floor space.
9. Walking can lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels, improve cardiovascular health and circulation, control weight, relieve symptoms of depression and anxiety, and strengthen muscles and bones.
10. Walking works because people stick with it for life. The only way to maintain good health is by exercising consistently. So, start walking and stick with it !!!!
