Tips for Walking

While 30 to 60 minutes of walking per day is ideal, you can still benefit from two or more shorter walks of 10-15 minutes each.

A steady routine helps you to get the most out of your exercise program. Walking for at least 30 minutes a day, 5 or more days a week is ideal.

During your walks, you should be able to enjoy a conversation and the sights, sounds and smells of nature. If you're breathing too lightly, you can increase your pace. If you can't catch your breath, slow it down.
