I enjoy walking. I live in a pretty neat neighborhood overall, so I experience some interesting sights, run into people I know, and meet new people too! All the while, I’m actually making myself healthier. It turns out, you don’t have to go into “beast mode” or crossfit until you shit yourself in order to make yourself healthier. Walking helps you:

  1. Lose weight. 10,000 steps a day sets off a weight loss chain reaction in your body.
  2. Reverse the effects of prolonged sitting. Taking a break from work to walk around for five minutes is profoundly helpful.
  3. Lower your breast cancer risk, according to research published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.
  4. Boost the immune system. Perfect for cold and flu season!
  5. Ease Fibromyalgia pain...
