A slow start to the day will have your body systems go slow all day and this is how you set up weight gain. A short, 200 yard, walk before breakfast will kick start your body systems and set you up for weight loss and good weight management.

Start your morning ritual with a stroll

I am not talking about speed walking or marathons here. After you have had your 2 glasses of water and washed your face, take a stroll down to the corner and back – change your pace a bit as you go. Do this as part of your new morning ritual – just a couple of hundred yards or so.

Imagine you are living in a cave and you wake up and go to the stream to have a drink and wash your face, then start your day.

Make walking fun

 

Walking and weight loss go together so, later in the day, walk for 20 – 40 minutes and make it fun. Walk with a friend or a walking group. Do a walk for charity. Try a different route and explore other people’s gardens over the fence. Walk your dog or offer to walk someone else’s dog. Listen to music or a lesson on your iPod.

Vary the pace. Walk slowly and then go fast to the next tree. Take a deep breath every now and again – really expand your lungs – but walk so you can still hold a conversation. Straighten your back and stick out your chest. Take a few giant steps and then some tiny ones. Dance around a tree.

Walking is for everyone

My old Dad loved to walk and was often asked for his Over 60’s Card to prove his age – well into his 80’s.

Start tomorrow off with a glass or 2 of water and a stroll to the corner. Add in a 20 minute walk a couple of times this week. Brush off your walking shoes now and start Walking For Weight Loss this week and the difference will soon show.
