5 Walking It s good for the heart, body and mind! Before anyone starts a new exercise program such as walking, you should check with your physician. Walking is one of the safest forms of exercise but check with your doctor to make sure it is right for you. You don t usually need an appointment, just call. Did you know that walking could help? Reduce high blood pressure Reduce stress Promote better sleep Reduce tension headaches Reduce risk of heart disease and stroke Reduce muscle aches Increase your daily energy To maximize your safety while walking make sure: The walking environment is safe and free from objects that you could fall over. Drink plenty of water before, during or after to prevent dehydration. Wear comfortable shoes that have support and fit well. Walk at a comfortable pace. You should be able to carry on a conversation without being short of breath. You can t go wrong if you walk for exercise a few times a week. New research has found that even ten minutes of exercise is better than nothing. So, if you only have ½ hour a few times a week to spare to walk, you will benefit from the effort. Indoor Walking Tip Can t keep track of how many laps you ve walked? Put as many pennies as laps that you would like to walk in your right pocket, every time you do a lap take one out and put it into your left pocket!
