Walk As Though Your Life Depended On It
I’ve got one big reason for you to walk. If you don’t do it you will die sooner. Does that shock you? It has a different lasting effect if you are male or female, but both are positive. A study of over 72,000 nurses showed that women who walk three hours or more per week reduce their risk of a heart attack by 35%. For men the difference can be bigger. In one study of retired men, mortality rates of men who walk less than one mile a day was actually twice that (100% higher) of those who walk more than two miles a day.
Just be careful crossing the street.
TODAY DO THREE THINGS: 1) WALK A ROUTE THAT YOU THINK IS TWO MILES 2) DRIVE IT TO SEE HOW FAR IT REALLY WAS. 3) MEASURE OUT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT TWO MILE ROUTES TO WALK.
