Walking in the fresh air is good for both physical and mental health.
In this article, we will tell you how to train yourself to go for walks more often.
Why is it good to walk a lot
The main benefit of walking in the fresh air is its positive effect on overall health.
By walking at least 20 minutes a day every day, you strengthen your immune system and improve your well-being.
In addition, daily walks improve the functioning of the heart and blood vessels and normalize blood pressure.
After a walk, the mood improves, the person becomes calmer, more focused, mentally rested, and the level of anxiety decreases.
Walk outside as often as possible
To motivate yourself to go for a walk more often, set aside special days and times for this activity.
In just a couple of weeks, this will become a habit for you and going outside will not be difficult.
Plan interesting places and activities for your walk.
For example, a beautiful park, take coffee or tea with you, read a book, look at the birds.
In addition, you can invite your friends for a walk.
Together you can have a photo shoot, an outdoor run, or a picnic.
Use your walking time for mental activity.
Take your usual route in reverse. Even small changes to your daily routine have a hugely positive effect on your mental health.
To feel better, just take a new path or take a walk in a different place.
Start with a short walk, about 10 minutes, and gradually increase the time or distance each week.
Add just a few minutes or blocks.
