Right about now, everyone’s wondering how to get in shape and shed those few extra pounds they put on during the winter holidays. The answer is closer than you think. Are you ready? Walking! The simple act of walking 20 minutes a day at Polo Glen Apartments will burn a significant amount of calories in the course of the week, and it’s something we’re all uniquely equipped to do!

So here is how you start. Begin by walking slowly for a short amount of time every day. For example, instead of parking right in front of your favorite Rockledge store, park your car at one end of the parking lot and walk to your destination. Increase the time each day until you hit 20 minutes or more. If you need another person to motivate your desire to walk, set up a walk time with a family member or a neighbor.

Walking a few extra minutes every day will help you manage your weight. It will also improve your mood; increase your overall fitness; reduce your risk of diabetes or heart attack; and lower bad LDL cholesterol while raising the good HDL cholesterol.

Start small and increase your walking regimen every day around the Rockledge Polo Glen Apartments. Avoid high-traffic areas, and observe any signs of discomfort as an early indicator that you are pushing it too much. Before long, you will be walking further and further and enjoying it more and more. Tell others about how to get in shape walking 20 minutes a day. Happy trails!
