It's National Start Walking Day!

Today is the day...not tomorrow, today! We always say we will start tomorrow, but today is National Start Walking Day http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3053031 so it is a great day to start a fresh new program!

I know it is chilly, but bundle up and make it happen! You will feel great.

The goal is to get in at least 30 minutes of walking today. Can't do it all at once? Neither can I today, so I have mapped out a plan:
-Started the day by getting off at an earlier bus stop (10 minutes)
-Broke up my morning with a walk around the building (15 minutes)
-Will walk to the train instead of taking the shuttle (20 minutes)
Wohoo! 45 minutes all throughout the day just like that!

Make your own action plan:
-Today I will walk ______ minutes
-I will do it it all at one time by ________(example: going to the gym with my i-pod, taking the dog for an extra long walk, walking the baby)
-I will break up my routine by _______(taking the long way to the bus today, walking around the mall on my lunch break)

Good luck today!
