Walking is a healthy, simple kind of exercise that puts little strain on your body. Brisk walking can help you maintain a healthy weight, improve your mood and balance, strengthen your bones and reduce your risk of high blood pressure and heart disease. If you want to walk for exercise, but have a hard time getting motivated, consider starting a walking club. The accountability of team members will get you moving!

Find a local group of friends who are interested in starting a walking club, and set reasonable days and times for you to meet. Take turns being the club leader, someone who motivates and creates walking paths for the team.

Express your love today!
