It is simple and we will share how You Can Easily Incorporate More Walking into Your Fitness Practice.

If you have been wanting to get all the health benefits from walking but struggling to find a way to fit it into your fitness practice, we can help!

Here are some super easy tips that will help you walk more each and every day.

Walk Instead of Drive

A simple way to get in a few more steps each day is to walk places that are within a reasonable walking distance. Sure, if you are getting a week’s worth of groceries, walking back from the store isn’t convenient. But if you are running an errand that is a 10-minute walk from your house, why drive?

Consider all the places you drive to that you could easily walk to. This might be picking your kids up from school, dropping your dog off at the groomer, dropping a book off at the library, or going to Starbucks for a quick cup of coffee. There are probably many missed walking opportunities in your regular schedule.

Take Your Dogs on Longer Walks

Many people with dogs often just let them out in their backyard to go potty and get some sunshine, but walks are important for them and for you!

Most dogs love going on walks, whether it is a light stroll once a day, or you take them to the park for longer walks.

Consider going at least 1-2 times a day where you don’t just let your dog out to potty but use that as an opportunity for a longer walk. Take a different route in your neighbourhood, find a local dog park, or head somewhere quiet that you know dogs are allowed.

Get Your Family Involved

A super-easy way to walk more without thinking much about it is to involve your family in the new fitness practice.

Walking is so much easier to do when you aren’t going alone and only have yourself to rely on when it comes to motivation.

Maybe your partner or spouse wants to go in the evenings, or your kids want to walk with you over the weekend. Grab some friends on your lunch break at work to walk for a few minutes after eating lunch.
