It’s 1:45pm, Do You Know Where Your Walk Is?

Filed Under Walking

It’s 1:45pm here in California. I just came back from a beautiful 30 minute walk. How about you? Have you had your walk for the day? If so, then good for you. If you haven’t, why not?

I don’t have time for a walk

That’s a pretty poor excuse. During my 30 minute walk, I made two business calls and one personal call which I had to make today. If I wanted to, I could easily fill up the 30 minutes with business calls. Heck, I could go walking during any number of conference calls and still contribute. Besides, everyone needs a break once in a while. How about spending it walking instead of sitting on your butt?

It’s too cold outside

Take a jacket. Besides, the cold will do you good. Cool air forces your body to spend extra calories in order to keep warm. Unless there’s a snow storm outside or you’re somewhere like the Arctic, then it’s not too cold to walk. And if there is a snow storm outside then find a place where you can walk indoors.

It’s too warm outside

Take your jacket off, or just walk a bit slower.

What’s the point of walking anyway?

It’s good exercise, it keeps you active and it’s a refreshing break from work that will allow you to be more productive when you come back. In fact, a simple walk every day is one of the healthiest things you can do for yourself.

I have uncomfortable shoes

So fix that. Buy shoes that look good enough for work and are comfortable enough to walk in or bring an extra pair of shoes to work that you can put on for your walk. Stop letting your clothing make your decisions for you.

I’m too busy

Really? If so, why are you spending time reading this site? We all waste quite a bit of time every day. Why not use some of it productively by taking a walk?
