Setting walking goals

Ultimately, walking 30 minutes each day is a commitment that your whole body will thank you for.

Although sometimes it helps to start things slow and build them up over time. Here’s a few tips to get you going:

• Start slow and short. Why not try walking 10 minutes in one direction - turn around and walk 10 minutes back.
• Wear shoes suited to walking (not heels or work shoes)
• Think about maintaining good posture while you walk

• Gradually increase your distance, speed and/or time.
• Vary your pace with fast and slow intervals.
• Park at the far end of the parking lot.
• Use the stairs whenever possible.
