Preparation: The Key to a Walking Fitness Program
May 27, 2009 11:59 am SportsI start every day with a long walk and make sure I work out with light weights at least three times a day. Exercise is so much a part of my life that I don’t even think about it anymore. But it wasn’t always like that. Years ago I had gained some weight and decided to begin walking to help trim down. I slipped on my shorts and an old pair of sneakers, without socks, and took a three-mile walk. That night my feet hurt and I had blisters. The next day I invested in some solid walking shoes, several pairs of Walking Socks, and comfortable workout clothes. That was my first, but not my last, lesson in preparing for a fitness program.
