I love walking to lose weight at this time of year. Why? Because it is easy to do! I walk to look for toys, friend’s parties or meetings, gift ideas and food/party invitations. It’s crowded-everyone has to walk! I use my time totally. Up early and doing something straight away. Shop or visit during lunch. After work party or shop for clothes or shoes or holiday items.
Most of you are not enjoying summer right now. Some of the above relies on the warm weather but the easiest way to enjoy walking to lose weight during December is to use this time to reinforce your overall goal. Busy means activity, means long hours on your feet-this all counts! Thinking about other people, buying or wrapping gifts, feeding friends, planning parties, is a distraction from food.
Add music and you’ve got a magic combination!
If you are one of the few who don’t currently see the benefits of including fun tools such as ipods or mp3 players in your walking to lose weight accessory list, recent research may cause you to re-think.
Music has value when teaching physical skills to children, can lower stress, increase intelligence and benefits heart patients, makes you feel better, as well as having positively enlivening effects on the heart by expanding blood vessels and by lifting emotions while listening to music you enjoy.
Walking, listening to music, laughing, having fun, relaxing, has an efficacy when applied to our lives. Imagine your doctor writing you a prescription for fun! Take a look at the funner (!) tools-this might be a particular friend who you always have a good time with. Reread some invigorating or inspiring blogs and posts.
