Almost all of us know that there is a close relationship between health and fitness. If you can ensure your fitness, then you can ensure that you can lead a healthy life.
In order to achieve fitness, the main thing that you need to consider is doing regular exercise and other physical activities.
In todays’ world, modern people are deemed helpless without using cars, elevators, remote controls and other technology that we have at our fingertips.
The consequence of the technology that we take for granted is laziness (for the most part)
Adults, and children alike need to do regular exercise to help keep them fit in both mind and body. Walking is a good (and easy) way for us to do this.
WALKING IS A FREE AND EASY WAY TO MAINTAIN FITNESS LEVELS
Walking is a good exercise that contributes to leading a healthy lifestyle. Walking for just 30 minutes a day can make a massive impact on your daily health, without you even really realizing you are doing anything. Walking helps relieve stress, and gives you a time to reflect; thus being good for both your physical appearance and your mental stability.
By removing stress from your life you can progress at work, and it helps you find inner peace both spiritually and physically. Moreover, walking can increase the blood flow to the brain, which is important to increase the thinking skills.
WALKING CAN IMPROVE YOUR MOOD
Walking helps your brain to release endorphin in your body. Endorphin are a natural element that can make you feel happy. Power walking is particularly good for releasing endorphin.
This helps to cure depression and stress. You will find many products on the market which aid in releasing endorphin, however, they will not work in the same way as organically releasing them from within your body yourself.
For those of you out there who like to walk slowly (as opposed to those who like to power walk) if you maintain this habit daily you should notice a significant improvement in your overall daily mood.
WALKING IS A NATURAL TREATMENT FOR VARIOUS HEALTH DISEASES
Considering the healing ability of walking, almost all physicians recommend to walk daily or 3 times in a week. It is a natural treatment and a part of therapy. It can improve or cure many diseases, such as Hypertension, Arthritis, Cataract, Heart Diseases, Lymphatic diseases, Nervous problems, Diabetes, Depression, Glaucoma, circulatory problems and Respiratory diseases.
WALKING RELIEVES ALL STRESSES FROM YOUR BODY
Walking outside in nature is the best, it gives you a lot of time to think; and that is often the first step in helping you get away from painful stress. The nature, breathing in fresh air, and the movement of the body makes your feel good and remove stress and negativity from your mind.
WHAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHEN WALKING?
Wearing comfortable clothes as well as shoes are important for walking. Make sure that you drink plenty of water before and after of your walking. It is a good idea to walk in nature and open-air places where there is enough fresh air (instead of a treadmill in the gym) Breathe deeply while walking and make sure that you are away from the stress.
If you want to eat, then it’s a good idea to eat a good hour before you take yourself out for a walk.
Posture is also very important, Keep your back back straight, don’t arch it, shoulders back and keep your body relaxed and allow your airways to remain open to fully oxygenate your body.
Although walking is a good habit to have, and great exercise, many people often feel bored while walking. In order to keep motivated, and steer clear of boredom, it can be a good idea to walk with someone.
By asking someone to join you and chatting, you can often find you walk further and faster than when you are alone. If this isn’t possible then perhaps take a portable MP3 device and listen to some music.
A lot of smart phones now have music built in, and also running apps which will allow you to track your progress too – which also is good for motivating you to continue.
Now get up an schedule your WALK and a continue to 30 days, it will become your habit.
