by Ansar A. mlm MD 20 benefits of walkingWalking really is good for you. For instance, a diabetes prevention program for people who are overweight showed that walking 150 minutes a week can reduce the risk of developing diabetes by nearly 60 percent. That tells me walking is a lifesaver. Why not do it most days of the week?
One way to get motivated is towear a pedometer. Clip one to your waistband and it will count all the steps you walk, even if you're just going to the fridge for food. Wearing a pedometer provided me with a reality check about just how much ground I really cover in a day. The first day I wore a pedometer, I walked my dogs (in shifts since there are 16 of them ), did some housework, walked around town and finally went to bed. I was sure I’d hit 10,000 steps. When I checked the pedometer, it had recorded a mere 6,000 steps! I knew I could do better.
