Walking for 30 minutes a day every day of the week is a great start. In fact, it’s much better than the five day, or even three day, routine that many gurus recommend. 30 minutes of exercise 3-5 times a week just isn’t enough. The body needs work every day. That means seven days a week and if walking is the way to make that tolerable every day for the rest of your life, then walk.

Once the walking is established do some other activities to increase your physical output. This can include simple things like raking leaves instead of blowing them, wacky things like playing tag with your children, as well as other every day habits such as parking in the furthest space from the store rather than the closest.

Intervals can be added once the walking has been established. After a short period of walking run, then walk again, then run. Start out running once or twice in a 30 minute walk, then up it to more often until you’re walking 4 minutes then running 1 minute It’s not that hard.

Make walking a whole family activity. Walk the kids to school instead of driving them. Walk to the store. Get out and see the sights. And no, don’t stop walking just because of some rain. Wear a rain coat and some galoshes.
