Healthy Living in Austin, Texas

I have stumbled across another fitness goldmine and thought I would have to share! This chart by EverybodyWalk.org shares the AMAZING benefits of simply walking! If you are unable to set aside time everyday to go to the gym or go for a run just remember that walking is also beneficial.

Here are some everyday tips that you can add to your typical day to walk more throughout your day.

Tip 1: If you usually ride the elevator at work then choose to take the stairs instead. It’s a simple way to walk more while not taking away an hour of your day.

Tip 2: If there is a restaurant nearby on your lunch break then you could also choose to walk there rather than drive. This also benefits your wallet because you will be saving gas as well!

Tip 3: When you are out and about shopping or running errands park in the farthest parking space to add more walking distance to and from the store.
