So, you’ve resolved it’s the best time you get started losing a bit of weight, and that exercising frequently would be a good place to start. So perhaps you’re new to doing exercise or you haven’t been exercising in a long while. Perhaps you feel it’s somewhat intimidating. You’re lucky because it’s not that confusing or difficult to do – simply begin walking. You must make walking a huge element of your exercise plan.

You’ll be astonished how simple it is to squeeze walking into your workout program. Are you a dog owner? Take your pet for a fine, long walk. Anything under 10 minutes doesn’t count. 10 minutes may not be like a lot of walking, but over a month, or even a week, it adds up quickly. You can double this by just walking with your dog once in the morning and once in the afternoon. A good thing you might want to consider is walking part of the way to your office building; you can make this as long as you want by merely stopping short of your workplace. Of course, if you live quite far from, your office, it’s not such a great idea to walk all the way there every day (but feel free to try if you think you can do it!) Of course, you are going to have to walk back at the end of your work day, too, so that doubles your work out – which is terrific! If you get on the bus to your office, just begin using a stop that’s a little farther from either end. It’s not at all difficult to incorporate walking in your daily life.

Walking is one of the simplest and best things you can do to be healthy. The reason walking is so wonderful for your heart and at helping you get rid of extra pounds is that it is the perfect aerobic exercise. Walking is normally done at a slow pace, so you won’t be straining your joints too much, unlike running. I have a lean brother who seems to be able to consume anything he wants and remain lean. I asked him about it. He tells me doesn’t have an idea how he manages to do it, but he say that he walks a lot each day. It all became clear when he told me that. There is no good reason not to exercise, when walking is very simple.

The moment you establish walking as a part of your everyday routine, it will become more effortless to stay with it, and as a bonus you’ll begin to notice you’re losing some pounds, too. By walking you’ll also feel better and you won’t be bored by it since it’s not exhausting at all, which will make you feel more inspired. As you walk more and observe changes, you’ll want to do more or step up the intensity level of your walks. This is fantastic; anytime is a good time for you to do it. Once you get to the point where you’re walking at a reasonably good pace and feel ready, step it up by jogging. After that, only the sky’s your limit.

Now the cat’s out of the bag – there is just no excuse to not get out there and begin walking. You can always find time to walk around your workplace, or the block. If that’s not possible, get a gym membership and get on a treadmill. There are lots and lots of ways to skin this exercise cat.
