Challenge 3: Power Up Your Walking

power up your walking

susancircleEvery day is a new opportunity to grow and transform our body, mind and spirit.

When we slow down to listen to the wisdom within us — and in the world around us
— wonderful changes can occur.

To help you get started, I’ll share a weekly “Transformational Challenge” that can
bring both growth and joy into your life. I’ll also be focusing my attention on
the challenge right along with you, so I would love to hear about your experiences.

Yours in Health, Susan

Walking is a great way to build bone as well as aerobic capacity.

If you step up the pace, you will benefit even more. A mile in 15 minutes is considered an aerobic activity and is better for bones than walking slowly. Just walking for 30 minutes a day has been shown to reduce hip fracture risk by 40%. Speed walking is even better!

This week’s transformational challenge is to aim for two 15-minute miles each day. At this pace the exercise is aerobic as well as bone building.

 

Bonus: Do this activity wearing your weight vest or using hand weights to add impact to your steps.
