Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 An interesting article on walking. Walking is a natural activity that we do everyday and if you have that 30 minutes a day for a few days a week, this could be something which you can try. Consult your doctor first before starting any exercise routine. Wishing you great health! When it comes to exercise we each determine what we can or cannot do, and how hard we push ourselves. Some follow the all-or-nothing principle, believing that if exercise is good for you it has to be hard, even painful. Experts have recommended high-impact aerobic exercise as a means for increasing bone mass, but a review of numerous studies on aerobic exercise and bone mineral density suggests that walking just 30 minutes per day a few days a week is enough to moderately increase overall bone density. Specifically, an eight-year study of 13,000 people found that those who walked 30 minutes a day had a significantly lower risk of premature death than those who rarely exercised.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Walk every day possible, and DRESS for it. Carry all sorts of cold and hot weather gear in your car that you can reach for. Always carry a cell phone, Always have gloves. Carry in your car items such as: Ear muffs, sunglasses, raincoat, extra gloves, muffler, bottled water, change of shoes. Dont pay any attention to speed or heartbeat, just....walk and enjoy it. Try to eventually walk at least 2 miles a day: one mile out and one mile back to car. Notice everything around you. In time you may carry a knife, a whistle, a stick. If you see someone suspicious, take out your cell phone and turn it on, put it to your ear and begin talking (at least) as IF you are carrying on a conversation. In any sort of warm weather, suggest you carry a bottle of water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
