Walk It To Drop It

Recently I discovered the joys of walking... now each morning I average 3,000 steps as part of my Weekday Daily Work Out Plan. If you know me, you will agree that I don’t do anything in half measures (weekends I do about 8,000 steps in the mornings) and when I find something I love, I am not shy to share my love. My new love is WALKING!

What’s all the fuss about walking? To answer this question I have put together this infographic (it may not be as sophisticated as most infographics you are used to, but hey…it tells the story, right?J)

 

Do these provide some motivation for you? They did for me… I have not quite gotten to 14,000 steps a day (there is hope!), but I average 8,000 to 10,000 each day. I can’t say I have dropped radical amounts of weight, I have tons of energy, I breathe better, and my head is clearer. The reflection I get in on early morning walks make my day all the more productive. PLUS, my posture is improving, lingering aches from my back (recall I shared how I hurt my back recently?) seem to have vanished. THEN I sleep better each day. Again, it seems as though my thighs and calves (major problem areas for me) are getting toned. What’s not to love about walking with these results…?

I can hear someone asking… ‘Liz, how do you know how many steps you are taking as you walk?’ One word: PEDOMETER! But not any ol’ pedometer; if you visit this blog next week I’ll tell you what to look for in a good pedometer.

Have I sold you to walking yet??? [wink]
