I am not fond of exercise. I am lazy if I don't have companion. If my daughter is doing some yoga, that's the time I will joined with her. I just doing some basic exercise when I got up in bed. For all those have lazy butt, maybe its time for us to have walking.
As far as the medical benefits go, walking covers all the bases. It decreases your risk of heart diseases and type II diabetes. Waling also lowers blood pressure and bad LDL cholesterol, while raising good HDL level. As an aerobic exercise, walking trains the heart as a muscle and sheds pounds while also being low impact. It doesn't aggravate the knees and joints as much as a high impact sport would.
The 10,000 steps that was originate in Japan, the concept has caught on in the states as a simple way to walk five miles a day, roughly 10,000 steps. Even if you're basically sedentary, normal activities ( getting up to grab the phone, typing on your computer) start you off with 2000 or so spaces. For the rest, you need to get creative, you can walk your dog in the late afternoon, or maybe kids would love to have nature hike. You can stroll on the park in the morning for 2 hours.
In truly inclement weather, head for the mall for some fast paced window shopping, or gym's treadmill. Or if there is stairs at home, with enough visits to the attic and basement, you'll reach 10,000 steps in no time!!
So what you're waiting for? lets do walking!!

I love walking. It really came in handy when I was studying in UP, lol
I've been walking about going for a walk regularly, but I still haven't started! I really need the exercise. Like Ivy, I loved walking around in UP :)
walking is great. it doesn't cost a penny compared to going to the gym. what's also good is that you could enjoy the scenery when you're walking outdoors. thanks for the post!
Same here i like to do exercise if someone doing it. mas enjoy kasi mag exercise pag may kasama at ka chika chika
Me and my best friend Bridget don't have any transportation to get to this friend's house we wanna so we have to walk it's a two hour walk filled with busy road's and some really bad neighborhoods but we can do it all we were wondering is if anybody had any tips on how to stay energized enough to walk this far we are leaving in 10 minutes any tips?
I walk around the house doing chores, that's my only work-out, super lazy me.pero if I have a company I can walk inside the mall all day. :P
Am not a fan of walking either, makes my legs and feet hurt, though I honestly need this form of exercise coz I'm 25lbs heavier than normal.. All walking (and running,lol) is done at home especially if i need to be where the little one wants to go, lol...Oh, I know I badly need to exercise!
i'm just too lazy to walk. hehehe.
Something about walking in the early morning, especially with the sun shining just really motivates me. Yoga and pilates do a great job of it too.
me too...masarap kasi pag may kasama...nakaka bored kung ikaw lang mag isa...ehehehe! I'm just lazy to walk lalo na exercise....lol!
