Learning to walk again

Walking is the easiest, cheapest exercise there is – and you can do it anytime, anywhere (almost). There's almost no excuse not to walk.

We had a member who was physically challenged, and walking for her was very difficult. Rosemary wears leg braces and uses crutches. But she was determined to improve her health, so she started out walking to the end of her driveway and back for her exercise. She worked up to walking to the end of the block and back. She also used a mini-trampoline, and started going to the gym to lift weights. Rosemary became a recognized role model at her gym, because she was dedicated to her workout. She made great gains in her health and fitness with exercise and following Marilu's Total Health Makeover® eating plan. You can, too.

Be sure to do both cardio (movement that gets your heart rate up) and strength (weights & resistance) training every week. You can do them on alternate days or do some of both every day.

And if you need some walking music, here's a song to try * Walk by the Foo Fighters.

Get up and DO IT.
