 Do you need some motivation to keep walking?  See below:

Walking offers endless health benefits

-Keeps your heart healthy. Physical activity lowers your blood pressure, increases the amount of "good" cholesterol in your blood and helps prevent against heart attack. Being fit also lowers your risk of diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure and other health problems.

-Boosts your energy. Walking gives you a greater capacity for work and helps you deal better with daily stress.

-Improves your sleep. Walking helps you fall asleep easier and gives you a more restful sleep.

-Keeps your bones healthy. Walking can help protect against and lessen the effects of osteoporosis, or "porous bone disease." Walking and other exercises that force you to work against gravity help strengthen your bones.


As always, happy walking!!
