Walking Tips:
> Break it up--walk 10 minutes a day, 3 times a day to reap the benefits of walking
> Park further from the door and walk to your destination
> When waiting for an appointment, take a walk
> Find a walking buddy to help you stay motivated
> In bad weather, walk at the gym or on a treadmill
> Get the whole family walking after dinner by walking instead of watching one TV show
Set a goal - try to walk 30 minutes a day.
