Break it down into simple steps . Do not try to walk 2 or 3 kilometers on your first outing – just go out and walk for 15 minutes … that’s all … a nice easy pace for 15 minutes . Can anything be easier than an easy paced 15 minute walk !
Now that you are walking for 15 minutes … I want you to do this for 7 days … How easy is that …
Now , to make it easier , I have Removed 1 step for you … All you have to do is … 1) walk 15 minutes a day , and … 2) do it for 7 days …
DONE!
I can’t make it ANY easier .
Back On Track
Now that you are back on track , let’s go out into the great outdoors . Start walking … breathe deeply … once , twice , three times … look around … starting to warm up … this is easy , right … swing those arms and pick up the pace a bit . Now you’re doing this – … you are exercising . It’s just that easy !
This was one of your New Year’s Resolutions – right ! Exercise and spending more time outdoors .
Why not start with simple walking . Walking will progress to hiking and voila … you are hiking in the great outdoors .
Now that you’re walking every day , why not plan a short 1-hour HIKE , at the beach , at the park or by the river . All you will need is a bottle of water . https://outdoortech4u.com/ten-things-to-bring-on-your-first-hike and
