The simplest form of exercise accessible to anyone is
walking. Basically, the only requirements are a decent pair of
walking shoes, some internal motivation, and a positive
attitude. By simply taking a few extra steps each day, you can
start laying the foundation for the proper regimen for a
healthier life.
Here are some beginning steps 22. suggestions by
physical trainers to get you started. Initially, it’s necessary to
design an appropriate plan for walking that fits your goals
and needs. For example, a beginner may want to start by
walking three times a week for about 20 minutes each. After
getting used to incorporating consistent exercise as a routine
part of your daily life, 23. adjust your plan by increasing
your walking schedule to five times a week and 30 minutes
per session. As you monitor and evaluate the number of
walks per week and the length of each session, one common
mistake that beginners often make is increasing both distance
and time, which has the potential add too much physical
strain on your body over a short period of time. 24. every
time you adjust your walking plan, be sure to only focus on
either distance or time.
After you’ve successfully maintained the habit of taking
regular walks on a weekly basis, the next step is to monitor
the 25. of your walk by measuring your heart rate. While
this might seem like it requires professional medical training,
measuring your heart rate can be as easy as checking your
pulse on your wrist or by wearing a heart rate monitor.
