Your Walk Today: 20 Minutes Long

Today’s Tip: Take Your Walk Outdoors

We want to welcome you back to the 21-day challenge! For day 7, you are going to walk outside for 20 minutes at least. Unless the weather doesn’t permit this, enjoy your walk outside in the fresh air.

There are a ton of mental, physical, and emotional benefits to getting outside for a walk, including: 

Saving Time and Money

This is a favourite for us. One of the most tangible advantages of walking outside is the money you save by not paying for a gym membership or a home treadmill. These costs can add up throughout the year to become an unnecessary burden on your income. You also benefit from the time saved from commuting to the gym each day. We let go of our gym membership years ago and it was one of the best things we did for our health and fitness. Enjoying getting outdoors to walk/hike, bike ride has been a wonderful addition to our get healthy lifestyle. It might prove the same for you. 

Boosting Your Mental Health 

It's well-known that walking is really beneficial to your overall mental health. However, not many people are aware that simply taking this activity outside can have compounding advantages. More specifically, walking outdoors has been shown to be more effective at lowering rates of depression than walking indoors.

Tackling Different Terrain 

The human body is built to adapt to different stimuli. When you run inside on a treadmill, you're only exposing your body to one kind of stimulus. While you can adjust the speed and incline, you can achieve a whole new kind of terrain when walking outside. This variation can help make your body more dynamic, stronger, and more adaptable. Just be sure to make these transitions gradually so your body is ready for the changes.

We believe that the practice of walking is one of the ways we connect to living a healthy and vibrant life. 

As we take our walks outdoors this helps us improve, we feel good being outdoors, in nature, or the neighbourhood. It definitely helps us be thankful for each day that we get outside on our daily walk for our best life. 

We appreciate that it never seems as if there are enough hours in the day, but it is so important to make a conscious decision to practice moving well, getting outdoors and we believe that walking is the most accessible form of exercise on the planet. Taking care of your mind, body and emotional needs will help you be able to live your best life. 

You are your best advocate; if you are not moving well each day, it is easy to get burned out by all of life's demands. Taking some time each day for yourself to get outside and walk can have a profound impact on your well-being. Physical fitness and moving well begin and ends with you!
