Wednesday Wellness Word

Try some of the tips below, and you'll be amazed at how quickly the steps start adding up:

  • Replace time spent circling the parking lot for a spot up-close.  Park further away and walk to your destination.
  • Make a few extra laps around the mall.  When out shopping, walk the length of the mall before going into any stores.  The mall is also a good place to walk to avoid bad weather outside.
  • Make a "Walk-and-Talk" date with a friend or family member.  Skip the latte and do a loop around the neighborhood instead.
  • Take a walking lunch break at work.  Keep extra shoes and socks in your filing cabinet. 
  • Walk while you are waiting.  Instead of sitting on the bleachers while your child's at sports practice, walk around the field.  Walk outside the restaurant as you wait for your table to be ready.
  • Find a convenient walking path near your home, kid's activities, or work.
