“How to Start Walking Your Way to Health”

Dr. Bo Wagner’s last health tip explained the benefits of walking just 30 minutes a day. This health tip will explain how you should start and apply your walking routine.

Start with 10 minutes a day and slowly add 5 minutes every few days building up to the suggested 30 minutes a day at least five days a week. If you can increase your walk to 45 or 60 minutes daily and for six or seven days a week, that is even better.

Walk outside, breath the fresh air, soak up the sunshine and if it is cold and rainy use the treadmill or go shopping. Add some barbells and do some arm exercises while you walk to also strengthen your upper body. Don’t procrastinate, just do it! But most of all have fun and enjoy the long lasting benefits of good health and well being. So start walking!

Note: Running and jogging are not recommended, for research has shown that sudden exercise can lead to heart attacks. Always consult with your doctor before beginning any exercise program.
