I’m not talking about bicycles- it’s walking cycles I’m interested in today, because it has occurred to me recently that as in life our walking patterns change as we change, whether in circumstances, or because the environment around us changes.
This time of year I will be heading indoors for a lot of my walking. Spring brings with it hotter weather, and sometimes hay fever. After this morning’s walk I looked in the mirror and my face was not only sweaty but bright red. I felt fine but all the signs are there that it is getting too hot for me to be taking long walks without temperature control. Some options I use: air conditioned environments (gym or at home with a dvd -Leslie Sansone’s Walk Away the Pounds -or even the WiiFit); coastal walks always get a breeze and generally are 2-4 degrees cooler than my local area; walking early or late- early is my preference.
At my gym the treadmills have tv attached so I can relieve the boredom to a certain extent with watching something, or listen to the gym music which tends to be good, or my own mp3 player.
I find walking to lose weight outside to be totally stimulating. Plenty to look at, think about, feel invigorated by- when it is in the cooler weather. Recently I’ve been recording my dedicated walks in the walking forum at About.com. This has added to my commitment and feels more social. The treadmill on the other hand can require ingenuity to make it more fun.
I’d love to hear suggestions from you about keeping treadmill walking interesting on a daily basis.

Losing weight is the difficult task of exercise programs. So proper exercise programs must be followed to keep body fit and healthy. As walking and running are the best forms of exercises so treadmills are the best choice as they provide comfort.
