MOVE: Walking
Let’s get moving!
We’re big fans of using walking as a great way to get your body moving and an easy way to fit more movement into your day… and whether you’re a new mama or have older kids we could all use more movement in our daily routine!
Whether you’re choosing to focus on walking or combining walking and our at-home Cardio Boosters, the trick is to see all the POSSIBILITIES for movement and understand that every little bit adds up!
You don’t have to head out for a 5KM hike to make walking an effective part of your exercise routine.
Make Moments For Walking
Here are some ideas to sprinkle movement breaks throughout your day:
-
Try a 20-minute walk on your lunch break from work.
-
Take the long way home on the way back from school drop-off or pick-up
-
Do your weekend errands on foot when possible
-
Break up grocery shopping into several smaller trips and walk for a few items every day or two.
-
Get off the subway or bus a few stops early and walk the last little bit on your way to work
-
Head out for a family “urban hike” on the weekend with a new lunch spot or cafe as your half-way destination
-
Find a new hiking trail and use a sturdy carrier for babies and preschoolers
-
Meet a friend for a walk-&-tea in the evening.
