Walking to Work, to Shop & to Get (or Stay) in Shape!
Did you know that Walking a Mile to Work…
- Gives you more energy throughout the day
- Helps you sleep better
- Builds muscle mass
- Cuts cholesterol
How to Start a Walking Program…
- Starting a walking program can be as easy as walking out your door. Then just walk for ten minutes away from home and then come back. When you feel comfortable with those twenty minutes try adding another five. Before you know it, the distance to work will be within reach.
Combine Walking with Other Modes of Alternative Transportation…
Walking is probably the easiest way to take advantage of other forms of alternative transportation. Whether you walk a mile or two to a bus stop where you can catch the bus to take you the rest of the way or you walk to your friends to be a part of a carpool, you end up feeling better physically because you’re doing something good for your body or feel good inside because you know you’re doing something good for the environment.
