Whenever you have to go short distances
from home (school, post office, church, and
store) leave your car and walk. Set a good
example and save money at the same
time.

When going to the mall or store, park far
away in the parking lot as possible and
walk in. This extra activity burns calories

all the locations you find
interesting.

Set up a daily time to take your walk. If
you live in the city, enjoy the different
neighborhoods architecture and parks.
(Always chose a safe environment for your
daily walk.) If you live in the country,
find a hiking trail. There is something
about being in nature that makes a walk
memorable.

music combined with walking relieves the
stress of the day. Upbeat tempos keep your
pace up.
