The power of walking!
Getting more movement into your day doesn't have to be anything fancy. Keeping things simple with just moving your legs can be a great way to get moving, especially when it has these benefits:
It's free
You don't need any equipment
You can be inside or out
It's super easy to level up if you need more intensity
It's super easy to level down if you need to drop that intensity
You can do it solo or in a group
It's great for your mind
It burns calories
So, you're sold on the benefits, now you're not sure how to incorporate this into your day? No problem, here's a few ideas!
If you have time (or can make the time!) park further away from your destination
Get out for a quick walk in your lunch break
Walk through your home while dinner is cooking
Make that overdue catch up with a friend a walking one - You won't believe how far you can get on gossip ;)
Schedule some time in your diary to dedicate to some movement, even if it's 10 minutes with the children/when you get home from work.
Go and get that drink/snack yourself, rather than asking someone else to ;)
Now you're ready and raring to go, where or how do you start?
If you are completely new to any sort of movement, don't be afraid to start out small and simple! Going in all guns blazing and putting an expectation on yourself that isn't realistic will likely have a negative effect.
Start with a level you are comfortable with and once you are consistently smashing that one + it's starting to not feel challenging anymore, move yourself on up to the next! Take your time though, don't feel like you 'should' be progressing at any particular rate or comparing your progress to others, it's going to be a completley individual process.
Short distances, amount of time + a comfortable pace
Increase either the distance, time or pace
Increase two elements of distance, time or pace
Increase the three elements of distance, time + pace
Increase regularity
Add some incline intervals
Add some weight
If at any point you move yourself up a level and the intensity is too much, don't be afraid to drop back down. It's not failing, so long as you keep up with that lower level, you can be sure you will be ready to move up to that next level once you've bagged yourself a little more time to get consistent with where you are first.
