Tips to improve or maintain your walking routine
Already started? Fantastic! You’ve built walking into your regular routine.
To maintain or take this healthy habit to the next level, try these tips:
- Walk with family or friends.
- Invite others. Not only will they help keep you accountable, but they’ll also reap the benefits of a walking program. No humans available? Bring the dog or cat.
- Be consistent.
To help your walk become a habit, build it into your daily routine. Maybe it becomes part of your lunch break or something to do after dinner. Add your walk to your calendar, just as you do with other appointments. There will be days when you may need to adjust your walking schedule, but keep it as consistent as possible.
