Let's take a walk































I don't know about you but after a rough winter and summer here I'm going to be outside as much as possible. When I'm not outside playing sports running around i like to go for a walk. I go to my local lake walk around it a couple times, this helps me clear my mind and cool down after a hard workout. There are a lot more benefits to going for a walk on a nice day such as, if you decide to walk with a friend or family member you can spend some good quality time catching up on things. One a beautiful day walking the lake i get to enjoy the weather and the view of the lake. The fresh air will also elevate your mood since you were coop up inside during the cold, dark winter.
  Being in the sun for 10 - 15 minutes will provide you with vitamin D which is good for muscular and bone strength which is good for balance. This is why when i go for this walks you see a lot of older people who are lacking the much need vitamin D. Make sure that when your walking you can carry on a conversation other wise you should slow down and catch your breath. Walking helps with reducing the risks for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. You can use walking to control your weight and blood pressure.
