Walking
I previously wrote this piece of work for my social media; however, such posts do get lost in 100s of daily posts, so I decided I’d share it with you all on my next blog, and it can be a refresher on what you’re missing out on. Plus, you can always return to it on here when necessary.
If you are not getting your 10,000 daily step counts in, then you are missing a little trick here...
It's one of the easiest forms of exercise, and it's free!
It’s the most underutilized form of exercise and not many people are aware.
It helps with your physical and mental well-being too and...
You also get to enjoy the outdoors and fresh air.
Not everyone will be able to achieve 10,000 step counts straight away, but everyone can try and improve on it.
If you have a lot of weight around your thighs/legs and swollen ankles, then jogging, running and jumping are not the type of exercise you should be doing, as you can cause yourself some serious injury.
Here's a little routine you can implement!
1st - go for half an hour walk (15 minutes each way)
2nd - how many steps did you manage?
3rd - aim for that many step counts daily over a few weeks, and gradually increase more steps, until you reach 10,000 steps
If you struggle to walk and suffer from lower back pain, knee, hip and ankle pains, then you might want to consider doing lower body strengthening exercises for your legs and lower back.
If you suffer from plantar fasciitis then there are some mobility exercises you can do to relief the pain, however always speak to your GP or Physiotherapist first. One of my previous blogs on joint care shows what daily mobility exercises you can do, to protect your muscles and joints.
There are also some classes you can do to build up strength on your legs and they include:
Legs Bums and Tums Class
Glute Camp
Pilates
Weight Training
We do run many of these classes at Desire Diet and Exercise.
