1. Time In the morning (4~6), or evening (6~10), choose a convenient time to exercise and stick with it. Comfortable temperature is around 20℃~30℃.
2. Over all, Think about Safety Exercise anywhere that is convenient, fun and interesting, keeping SAFETY in mind. Be familiar with your route. Avoid walking alone, in streets without good lighting, or in heavy traffic areas. Carry identification and let someone know where you are going.
3. Wear Comfortable Shoes On warm days, dress in lightweight clothing that breathes, such as cotton. Dress warmly on colder days and wear a hat to keep your head warm. Wear comfortable shoes with a thick, flexible sole and good arch support. Sore feet or blisters can ruin a nice walk.
4. Attention! Warm-Up The best way of warming-up is 3 to 5 minutes of light stretching along with 5 minutes of very low level exercise. This will reduce injuries and strains.
5. Laggard or Fast, the Right Speed is Important For beginner, 100 steps in 1 minute is suitable. Then you could increase in the speed of heart beats plus your age no greater than 170.
6. (K)Cool-Down Five minutes of stretching after your physical activity will help prevent cramping and allow your body temperature to decrease gradually.
And Something more …
It is an easing and natural exercise. I strongly suggest you do it regularly and walk 5 days a week. There’s another benefit: you will know who your neighbors are. Because people rarely go out usually don’t know name of their neighbors.
So, let’s take a walk.
