How to daily walks by KimberGreene

"A Solid Commitment to Daily Walks..."

How I did it: I committed to daily walks. It became part of my daily routine.  I made a commitment to myself that rain, snow or shine I would get out there & hit the pavement. It was challenging somedays in the harsh winter months with wind chilling temperatures. Those days were a heavier coat, my favorite toque, scarf & gloves that never failed me.  Walking by water is my favorite. I find it calming & very therapeutic.  After awhile familiar faces & smiles exchanged. I found that very rewarding to recognize fellow walkers along my way.  I love to see seniors out & about. That would make my day especially if i doubted going out in the first place. If they can muster up the courage to get out in freezing temperatures so can I...I found them very inspiring. I always felt so good after a lengthy walk.

Lessons & tips:

  • make a commitment to yourself
  • make it part of a daily routine
  • ipod with your favorite tunes (happy ears)
  • be friendly & smile at fellow walkers
  • bundle up when it's colder temperatures
  • healthy & positive for your body inside & out
  • commit to what you can at first ei. 30 min or 60 min

Resources:

  • pick a place that you'll enjoy visually
  • ipod with your favorite tunes
  • local weather channel/webisite for daily forecasts

Well done...

... I can understand this goal completely. Every morning I walk to the shop, about 2km from here, for no other reason than just wanting to walk, see other people, breath some more or less fresh air and perhaps buy something for dinner as well :P

clarabutt boo! hiss! to evil omnipotent FB

some very good advice!

We “have to” walk because of our dogs, but it’s such a pleasure. I think I’d only know a fraction of the people I know in our village if I didn’t walk. It’s strange but sometimes when the weather is particularly bad – freezing cold, evil wind – we’ve had some surprisingly pleasant walks. I hope you continue to enjoy your walks :)

Holly is not doing so good on getting things done!

SPCA and daily walks

We too walk because of our dog. I would NEVER go out in all types of weather for a 20+ minute every day—except because my lovely springy dog needs to go. And I do too!
