Walking, the cheapest workout you can ever do!

We walk every day, but it isn't a major focus for a lot of people when it comes to their daily routine. We walk because we have to, just to get from point A to point B. But if you make an effort to walk just for excersise you would be amazed at how much walking can do for both your physical and mental health.
One of the best things about walking is it can be done anywhere, by yourself, with a friend. Its cheap too!
People like to go to the gym to excersise, but here's a gym right out your front door.
Some people use the excuse they don't have time to get out to the gym, and that can be completely true. Once you factor in driving time to get there, time to check in, get changed, actually workout, get showered then the commute again, it can take an hour or more, and that can be hard to fit into a regular routine if you have kids, work, the list goes on. Also gym fees can be expensive, but walking isn't.
Think about this, to get outside for a walk, all you need to do is tie on your shoes, and head out the door! And it can be done during your lunch hour.
To really enjoy the benefits of walking its reccommended that you try to get at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
If you are walking to slim down its reccomended to try to attain a brisk walk for 45 minutes 5 days a week. On that note though, if you are just starting out, don't push yourselfto the 45 minutes of brisk walking, start with acasual walk for 10 minutes, and slowly incresae over 10 weeks so you meet the 45 minutes of brisk walking.
The benefits of walking are immense. Studies commonly show that any regular exercise, like walking, reduces the chances of many life threatening diseases, like coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain cancers.
Find time to walk a little more, every day, and find out really how good it can really feel.
