Wellness Pathway #113:
10,000 Steps
|
In this week's Provision (Click)
I spoke about the "10,000 Steps a Day" program. Take 10,000 steps a day (wear an
inexpensive pedometer to keep track) and you will experience significant health
benefits. Many people find this surprising, since walking is something most
everyone does and it may not even seem like exercise at all. Nevertheless,
walking (like breathing) is one of those natural activities that has
far-reaching benefits. Indeed, Dr. Andrew Weil suggests that walking may be the
only exercise you'll ever need.
Here are a few fast facts from the February issue of Vegetarian Times magazine:
even one hour of walking a week can cut your heart-disease risk (Journal of the
American Medical Association). Walking leads to healthier, more flexible
arteries according to Finnish researchers. And Boston researchers report that
one hour of walking produces more heart benefits than 30 minutes of jogging.
Apparently the extra time does a body good.
Coaching Inquiries: How much do you walk a day? How could you walk more? What
are the best times of day for you to walk? Who could you walk with? What changes
would you have to make for this to happen?
