According
to the American Heart Association,
we are sitting in front of screens more than ever before. We would
all do better to exercise more.
To
encourage us to lace up our sneakers and take a walk, the
organization coined the phrase “every tie reminds us why.”
So
walk, walk, walk today and every day that you can – at least 30
minutes a day, get up and walk!
I
love to hike in the mountains, but walking in sand at the beach is
fun, too (but hard slogging!). Walking on dirt or grass is a bit
easier on our joints than walking on concrete. Still, most of us are
closer to concrete and can still get out and enjoy nature – the
sky, the sun or stars, maybe the clouds, hopefully trees and an
occasional bird or other critter. And looking at interesting buildings and at other people can be fun, too!
Where I live, my family likes to drive a few blocks to a
street where there are many “horse properties”; we see donkeys
and horses, dogs and birds, lizards and insects and bunnies, and an
occasional sighting of wildlife such as the family of coyotes that we
saw during every walk for a month...
Taking
walks can help you to think. (Actually, being in nature can help you
to think, too!) Taking walks with people can help you to communicate
– something about both facing forward makes it easier to share,
sometimes.
