Get moving; summer is here.

Summer 2022 has arrived. Have you found your exercise passion?

Why not carve out a few minutes of your morning and build a foundation for your summer walking adventures? It might consist of a trip to the beach or a walk in the park. Start slowly and increase your steps. Soon you will exceed many kilometres.

Having summer days free to go for an early morning walk is a splendid opportunity to see many other people exercising and feeling confident. Building your passion for walking is essential rather than seeing it as a must-do. I like to walk 5k or more daily and reflect on how grateful I am to be in good health. I increase my distance gradually and walk at a comfortable pace.

Walking is a fun way to exercise. It doesn’t require expensive equipment and provides a sense of calmness. Also, walking boosts one’s awareness of sights and sounds that I cannot get while working out at our gym. For example, I might look at the canopy of trees and colourful flowers or pay attention to people as they zoom past me on their bikes or running. Therefore, mindful walking is supposed to be suitable for everyone. 

We spend most of our days driving to work and sitting in front of computers and TVs. However, one’s sedentary routine can change with a quick mindset to list walking as one of your daily recommended activities to improve your lifestyle. 

My daily walks take me on the path of sustaining awareness and taking it all in. So give it a try, and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

  1. Walking is a great way to get some exercise. It was a gateway exercise for me and eventually got into running and cycling as well. Walks are great to do whenever you have some extra time to get that body moving. I usually do walks with my family at nights or walk on days I don’t do other exercises. Thanks for the post.
