  • Just Beginning Walking-Need Advice!

    From JMFIT@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 1 06:11:38 2018
    Hi there,

    I started walking about 8 months ago then stopped after 3 months. Then 3
    weeks ago I started to walk again. I walk in a running field 6 rounds in
    about 20 minutes. I am trying to do it everyday but because of my job
    schedule I can only walk every other day. My purpose of walking is to
    reduce my tummy fat and weight.

    What is the best way to walk? After breakfast or before? Do I have to
    increase the distance every day or every week?

    I will appreciate your great advise. Thanks a lot!

    I try to include short walks in my everyday routine -- enough of them
    add up.

    When I park at a supermarket, instead of looking for a place near the
    door, I look for a place where I'm not likely to have anyone parked
    close when I back out, or a place where I can pull in from the back
    and not have to back the car. Then I always return the cart to the
    store instead of the corral.

    I probably took a two-mile walk yesterday: I had a check to cash, and
    walked to the bank.

    Going out of my way to use staircases helps some.

    My suggestion to you would be a short daily walk before breakfast (you
    don't want to mess up with your stomach after breakfast obviously). It
    doesn't have to be a long walk that could end up discourage you to
    maintain this exercise habit.
    Otherwise, as Beeson did propose, you can take advantage of short walks combined within a few days.

    See if you can find a walking club near you. AVA.org has a list of clubs nation wide and Meetups sometimes has walking groups. If you are going to make walking a lifetime habit you need to get off the track and see interesting things and meet
    interesting people.
