Walking Is Good Medicine

Walking is good medicine because it has numerous health benefits. It is not only good for your body, but your mind and soul as well. Except for a pair of walking or running shoes, walking is a relatively inexpensive form of exercise. Sure, if you belong to a health club, or gym, your membership fee includes walking on a treadmill or a track, and you can purchase a treadmill for your home, but walking outdoors is free. Walking is a low impact activity so the risk of injury is low.
If you really love walking like I do, you will probably still go outdoors to walk even in lousy weather conditions. There is just something about walking outdoors that is magical and can be experienced by all your senses! It's worth it, just dress appropriately!
But it is nice to have the option of walking indoors, if it is pouring down rain, a snow blizzard, low temperatures and or a close to zero or below chill factor. Considering investing in a treadmill or health club is an option. I personally own a treadmill and that works for me when I'm unable to go out in bad weather. Another reason I like having a treadmill is that I often like to walk at night, which might not always be safe depending on where you live, so then you could just hop on your treadmill. To keep from getting bored, just put some of your favorite music on! Or if you have a television handy in the vicinity of your treadmill you could watch your favorite show while exercising. My personal preference is music. A good moderate to fast pace beat can really get you motivated!
