Time to Walk

America Walks states that fewer than 50% of Americans meet the minimum guidelines for moderate physical activity. It’s easy to get in a slump and not move our bodies. Long work hours, rush hour traffic, and life issues give us excuses not to exert any extra energy. The thought of exercising after a long day makes some cringe.  However, walking is one of the easiest ways to improve your physical health.

The great thing about walking for exercise is it is not costly. You can walk at any time during the day. It is possible to walk early in the morning, afternoon, or early evening. Rain or shine you can get in your steps. Walking can be in your neighborhood, around your town or city, or on an indoor track. You have many choices to enjoy the benefits of walking. Now it is time to explore some benefits and some tips on how to get in daily steps.
