How to start your Senior Walking Fitness programme.
1. Find a friend to walk with you. A friend will motivate you, it won’t be too hot/cold/wet. You won’t be too tired. You may not even notice how far you’ve walked together.
2. Walk every day. You must have a regular schedule and a pedometer is a good idea to check your distance.
3. Start slowly. A walk round the block is a good start. After a few days you will be thoroughly bored and want to go further. Make twenty minutes walking your first milestone - it will probably be about a mile anyway. Nothing to it, just ten minutes there and ten minutes back. But you did it so CELEBRATE. But, please, not with a pizza. Now you are on your way to lifetime fitness with nothing like as much effort as you’d expected.
4. Most important of all. KEEP IT UP. Whatever the weather, just do it. You wouldn’t want to let you friend down, would you?
