]]>Improve Circulation
Walking is one of the best ways to get the heart beating that bit faster, thereby improving blood flow and circulation. A 10 minute stroll (or, to up the ante, a brisk-paced walk) may not be the most cardio-intensive workout, but it will help keep everything in check and see you stay healthy until the spring and summer allow for more time spent outdoors.
Re-energize
If you’re working in a desk-bound job, the chances are that by midday you’re starting to flag and feel a little lethargic. Stepping outside, even for ten minutes, can help reset your mind and body and provide you with more energy for the rest of the working day. It will also stop your muscles cramping as you won’t be staying in one seated position for hours on end.
Mindful Moment
As you step out on your walk, make an effort to take in your surroundings and notice the things around you. This will help take your mind off work (which will probably reduce stress levels) and give you a moment to yourself in the middle of a busy day. Taking mindful moments can improve overall contentment and improve relaxation, as we stop and consider the world outside.
Ten minutes doesn’t sound like much, but it can add up to have a huge difference on your overall mental, physical, and emotional health.

]]>Step Out on a Nice Day
We don’t get too many sunny days in the winter, but you should put them to some good use once they come your way. Step outside every time it’s not too gloomy or rainy outside, or consider checking the weather forecast in advance so you could plan longer walks.

Walking indoors is not so hard when you have a big home and can make a lot of steps just walking around and doing chores. On the other hand, if you’re living in a small apartment, you’ll probably struggle to increase your step count, but you can always head to a local mall where you can cover more ground.
Give Treadmill a Chance
Treadmill walking is another great way to increase your daily step count this winter without walking outdoors. Most people use this gym essential for running, but speed walking is also an option, and you can easily push your step count to 10,000 if you give it a try.

]]>Improves Mood
The simple things in life like fresh air can change your whole attitude. A change of scenery and walking can decrease depression and reduce your anxiety. Going outside and exercising can help clear your mind, even if it’s just a short walk around the block.
Lowers Blood Pressure
A consistent walking routine helps lower your blood pressure and prevents heart disease. If you have existing heart conditions, walking is a safer way to get exercise in.
Boosts Metabolism
Besides eating healthy, you can boost your metabolism and keep weight off by walking. You’ll be burning a ton of calories without even noticing it!
Aids Recovery
If you do a lot of high-intensity workouts, your body needs time to rest and recover between them. Walking is a low-to-moderate intensity exercise that gets the blood flowing and increases heart rate without being too hard on your joints.

]]>If you’re struggling to get there, here’s a couple of helpful tips you can use – even if you’re stuck inside your home all day long.
Other Activities
One of the best ways to increase your step count is walking while you’re completing other tasks. Listening to music, podcasts, and audiobooks, chatting with your friends and family, and scrolling through Instagram are only some of the activities that you can easily do while walking around your room.
Little Breaks
If you work from home, it’s important to take breaks to give your mind and body some time to rest. You can use these breaks to recharge your batteries by doing some light walking around your house.
Getting Out
Don’t limit yourself to simply walking around your room if you have a yard or a garden at home. You can have a nice walk and get some fresh air without getting in contact with people outside your household.

]]>Walk Every Day
Everyday walks can help you stay in shape and burn calories. It’s best to walk for at least 30 minutes every day if you can or aim for four one-hour long walks per week.
Everything Counts
It’s not necessary to schedule long walks if you want to benefit from walking. Every little thing during the day counts, so start taking the stairs instead of elevators and figure out how to squeeze in more walking in your commute. It could be getting off one stop earlier if you’re using public transport or parking further away if you’re driving.
Get Comfy Shoes
Nothing can be as motivating for walking as a pair of comfortable shoes. Now that sneakers are so trendy, you can even walk to work in them and change into something more appropriate once you get there.

]]>Sitting around all day long is already too much, you definitely don’t need to sit through the lunch break. In fact, you should get moving every time you have a chance. A 30-minute walk around the lunch and a five-minute stroll every hour or so should be the bare minimum during work hours, with more activity in your spare time. As you can assume, most people don’t do this. Constant sitting can have devastating consequences on your health and the time to prevent them is now.
Exercise and movement also make us happier and energetic, so expect to come back from your active lunch break in a better mood and ready to tackle the other half of your workday. In case you can’t get out for lunch for whatever reason, you can compensate by walking at least a part of your commute to and from work.

]]>Instead, you can do something for free that’s really healthy and easy to integrate into your existing routine: walking! Walking is one of the healthiest activities because it isn’t strenuous on your body, which means the risk of injury is low and it’s still great aerobic exercise.
The reason why people don’t walk more is that they feel like they don’t have the time for it. However, it’s actually really easy to start walking more every day. If you live in a big city where you take public transport to work or to meet friends, replace one ride on a bus or train by walking instead!
Another great way to get into the habit of walking more if you don’t live in the city is to try to rely on your car less. If you have stores within a mile of your house, walk there instead of driving! The best way to get the hang of it is by parking your car farther from where you need to go to force yourself to get moving more, and the rest will come naturally.
