Do One Thing: Take up a walking habit

Walking is one of the easiest ways to incorporate physical activity into our daily lives. If you don’t already have a walking habit, give it a try and see if it’s for you. For some people the key to their walk is the time of day; walking first thing in the morning while the sun is still rising might be a great way for one person to add an energizing boost to the start of her day, while another person might find an evening or after-dinner walk a great way to wind down and reflect. You might prefer to walk along a body of water, if you live near one. If you have kids, maybe on evenings or weekends you join your kids for a walk as they ride their bikes. Maybe it’s just a matter of grouping all your nearby errands together and walking a circuit from your home to each one, and back. Give it a try and find out which walk works best for you.
