Perfecting Walking For Weight Loss
Walking for weight loss is another means of spiritual development according to a recent comment by a minister actively encouraging his congregation to lose weight. Certainly action can be devalued in living a life concerned with higher things whether religion or the pursuit of artistic goals.
It has become traditional to avoid “perfecting” our bodies when focusing on the more spiritual yet most of us are far from the danger of physical perfection and as was popular some time ago, could be more on track treating our body as a”temple”.
The walking for weight loss lifestyle has much to offer those who enjoy contemplative or meditative practices. In some faiths labyrinths or mazes are depicted specifically to encourage this form of walking solace or mindfulness.
Of course the purpose of this walking is not for weight loss, and the slow pace is not designed to increase the heart rate, nevertheless in other venues such as the great outdoors, vigorous exercises can coincide with a peaceful, even rejuvenated, mind.
When walking for weight loss is a daily routine, one you look forward to, and feel refreshed and revitalised after, then a sense of grace descends on your life.
By adding a pedometer and daily target of 10,000+ steps, the relatively peaceful walk becomes an effective weight loss tool.
