WALKING – so much more than “steps per day”

Walking is a fantastic way to get fitter and healthier in both body and mind. I do it every day with the dog. It’s free, accessible for most, it’s right outside the door, and needs almost no equipment.

Here are some facts and figures which I hope will motivate you next time you catch yourself making excuses not to go out for a walk (uh-oh)

Walking is ridiculously simple, and astonishingly good for you – study after study proves it.  Sneaking in a few minutes walk several times a week is amazingly good for us.  Walking to reduce your weight is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the benefits of walking. It’s so much more than the daily step count.

Find out what Caron said about it when she started her walking program which made me intake my breath very sharply.

☀️ BRAIN.  Just 2 hours of walking can reduce your risk of stroke by 30%.

☀️ MEMORY   40 mins 3x a week protects the bit of the brain associated with planning and memory.

☀️ MOOD.  30 mins walking a day can reduce symptoms of depression by 36%.

☀️ HEALTH.  Logging 3.500 steps daily lowers your risk of diabetes by 29%

☀️ LONGEVITY.  75 mins of brisk walking a week can add almost 2 years to your life.

☀️ WEIGHT.  A daily 1-hour walk can cut your risk of obesity in half.

☀️ BONES. 4 hours of walking a week can reduce your risk of hip fractures by almost 43%.

☀️ HEART.  30-60mins of walking most days of the week drastically reduces your risk of heart disease.

When I first started working with lovely Caron she had lost loads of weight … but her loss had stalled and she couldn’t get it started again.  She has since gone on to lose my entire body weight and looks truly sensational.

She firstly took on a Personal Training package with me. Caron was so well-motivated but very frustrated that diets had stopped working for her.  She was very open and keen to learn and find ways around her problems.

The very strenuous or intensive exercise was initially not a possibility as she was new to exercise, was carrying weight, and had health issues that made her a little scared to raise her pulse.  So I suggested she “move more” on a daily basis.   This meant walking around the lanes where she lives.

Caron got started, but we live in Wales and rain quickly became an issue.

But … of course … she quickly came up with her own solution…..
