Want an easy way to self-motivate?
Try a simple goal: Out-walk yourself on a regular basis!
Walking is a great way to be active - especially for those easing back into an exercise routine. The average 150 lb. person can burn about 240 calories walking at a moderate pace, for one hour. And FYI – one hour is approximately what it takes for a beginner to complete a 5K fun walk/run – so get signed up for the next local race and make it your goal to beat your personal best walk time each time a 5K rolls around! Walk alone or with a friend or with a group… team registration usually gets a discount – and there’s always a terrific race t-shirt to wear with pride post-race and at the gym!
