Why walking is the best thing you can do for your mind, mood and body. Especially now.

 

 

Joyce Shulman, the Founder and CEO of 99 Walks a company that delivers monthly walking challenges and daily walking classes for women joins eHealth Radio and the Fitness and Health News Channels.

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Joyce Shulman discuss the following:

1. We've heard you say that walking is good for your body, your mind and your mood. Could you elaborate: How long do you have to walk to reap those benefits?
2. For people who don't have a regular walking practice, how should they get started?
3. The theme for April at 99 Walks is "walk in the rain" -- do you mean that literally?
4. So there are actual benefits to walking in the rain?
5. Does it matter where you walk?

Summary: There is no better time than right now to begin to develop a personal walking practice. Lace up your sneakers and walk out the door. One caveat: if you wait until you "feel" like it, you won't do it. You need to commit to walking whether you feel like it or not.
