What are you doing for excercise?posted 9/20/08 11:04 pm
We often hear that we should walk for excersize which is realitively low impact. There is an easy way to encourage yourself to walk, especially if you want to keep improving what you are doing.
The best way I have found to monitor my walking is with a pedometer. Hook it on your waist when you get dressed in the morning and check it at night and document how many steps you took. Create a chart to keep track. Make sure you increase your steps by 10% a day. That is not hard to do. If you only take 500 steps today, make it 550 tomorrow, if you don't make it to 550, make it to 525 or even 510. Just so today is more than yesterday and let than tomorrow. You will be surprised how many steps you take in a day. Ultmately your goal should be 10,000 - 12,000 steps a day...but remember you have to do this at your speed and you may or may not make it to that many but again...doing more than you did yesterday will make a difference. As you are building up how many steps you are taking start changing your goals. Maybe the first week is just making it to the mailbox or the edge of the driveway. Then do that twicw a day....Evenually work up to walking to the end of the block or the mall. We all of the the capability of making a small change and turn it into something big. Get up and get moving! 1 Response to "What are you doing for excercise?"1 comments
