• Walking is one of the easiest ways to exercise. You can do it almost anywhere and at any time. Walking is also inexpensive. All you need is a pair of comfortable shoes!

Walking will:

• Give you more energy
• Make you feel good
• Help you to relax
• Reduce stress
• Help you sleep better
• Tone your muscles

How to start your program:

• Walk from home, try not to drive to walk, it impedes the daily routine
• Plan your route, drive it or measure to ensure it is a mile
• Start with a mile and increase your distance as you build up your endurance
• Stretch before and after you walk.
• Be consistent (same route, same time – something regular to establish routine and increase safety)
• Don’t think about it, JUST DO IT!!

Black Women for Wellness challenges you to take the One a Day pledge.
