Walking is great for your heart, but it doesn’t have to mean walking at the same pace for 30 minutes.
If your usual walk has started feeling a little too easy (or a little too boring), give it some purpose.
Try:
⛰️ Find a hill or add an incline
💪 Engage your arms and drive them as you walk
🚶 Pick up your pace
⏱️ Add intervals: walk fast for 1 minute, then stroll for 2 minutes. Repeat.
These small changes can increase the intensity of your walk and get your heart working harder without turning your walk into a complicated workout.
And that’s the point.
Exercise for heart health doesn’t have to be extreme. It just needs to challenge you appropriately and consistently.
If you’re in Durban and want to improve your cardiovascular fitness, strength, mobility or overall physical health, a biokineticist can help you find the right level of exercise for your body and your goals.
So on your next walk, don’t just go for a walk.
Walk with purpose. ❤️
