Walking for fitness, A Beginning Program

Warm temperatures, sunshine, summery breezes just incite you to start something active outside. Maybe that walking program you were thinking about all winter. Well here is a beginning-walking program you can follow to help you along. First we will start with some pointers.

Don’t use a 6-lane highway as you’re walking path. Try to find a safe area to walk if you can.

Use a pair of comfortable shoes preferably with a cushioned sole. Better yet, if you are serious about walking, buy yourself a topnotch pair of walking shoes.

Wear clothing you feel comfortable walking in. Preferably bright upper body clothing if you walk along more heavily traveled roads.

Start gradually with your walking to avoid getting super stiff and sore. Give your muscles a change to get use to it.

Use some light stretching after you are done walking to help bring back some elasticity back into your muscles.

If it is hot outside make sure to drink enough water to keep hydrated.

Walk with good posture by keeping your head up and shoulders back and not slouched ahead.
