The weather has been great for refreshing and energizing walks! If walking has been one of your favorite activities or if you are just getting started, this entry will provide you with some resources to keep you moving forward.
Wondering how well your walks are fitting into your daily physical activity? I always suggest using a pedometer to see how far you are walking every time. You can convert your pedometer steps to miles by using this simple calculator in the link below. This will give you a good idea of how far you are traveling each day, and you can use this number to set goals for future distances. Use this Web site for additional help.
Interested in seeing how “walkable” your community is compared to others? Check to see if your community supports your efforts to travel by foot. Share your walkability score with your local community (www.healthbydesignonline.org) and maybe you can help make a
difference. Check it out here!
There are plenty of walk/run charity events still happening the rest of this year in Indianapolis and surrounding communities. Two local organizations host many of them and already have them planned and ready to go. Check out Ken Long and Associates or Tuxedo Brothers for information on upcoming events that will help you burn calories, visit with friends and fight for a cause that’s important to you.
If you haven’t already visited our new support group “Walk the Talk” on Fridays at 11:30am—we’d love to see you there! We spend 30 minutes walking the local trails (about 1 mile in distance) and the other 30 minutes eating lunch and having discussions. There is no need to sign up—just show up with your lunch packed and tennis shoes on!
