Hi friends,
In this post, I shall explain about the right way to do walking. Most of us like walking as a great exercise but not many of us do it the right way.
What is the minimum time to walk?
Ideally, you must walk at least for 30 minutes a day and 6 days a week. If you are just about to start walking, don't start for 30 minutes on the first day itself. Start with 10minutes first then you can gradually increase it over the next few days.
What are the phases of walking?
The initial ten minutes should be the warm-up phase which is usually a slow phase. Start with slow pace and smaller steps.
The next ten minutes should be the brisk phase where you walk faster and you can take longer steps.
The last ten minutes should be again slow to allow your heart muscles to gradually reduce pumping.
What is the right time to walk?
There are no hard and fast rules as far as walking is concerned. You can walk at your convenience. When you do it early in the mornings, you also have an added advantage of breathing fresh air due to lesser pollution especially in the cities. As far as your body is concerned, walking in the morning, rejuvenates the body and makes it ready to work the whole day.
If that is not possible due to personal reasons such as your daily routine and household chores, never mind, you can always do it at your convenience. You can go far a walk in the evenings.
Can you walk on an empty stomach?
Now, that's a strict NO!
Your body needs some energy to do the exercise. Walking is an exercise which involves almost all the muscles in the body.
Have a cup of coffee or a fruit such as one banana prior to walking. That will give you the required energy to walk.
If you are going in the evenings, make sure that you go for a walk atleast 45 minutes after you have eaten something.
What kind of footwear should be worn for walking?
Ideally wear a pair of walking shoes with socks. Walking with chappals or flats or ballerinas will cause pain in your foot and legs.
Invest in a pair of good walking shoes that fits you well.
Ok friends, I hope you find this post useful. Hope this post motivates you to start walking if you have not started yet.
