What if I can't run?
If you can’t or are unable to run then walk! Walking is the next best thing to running.
Walking briskly for almost an hour daily is the key to losing a lot of weight and keeping it off. It is an underrated form of exercise and ideal for getting fit and staying fit if you can’t run or don’t want to run.
We can teach you how to walk and give you a training programme to get you started and fit. “Teach me how to walk?” I hear you say “What do you think I am, a baby?”
Walking for fitness is different to walking around the shops! I am not talking about power walking that’s a good way for you to get hurt very quickly. Most of us have forgotten how to walk correctly to get the best benefit out of it. We don’t know how to use our arms, mid section and bum when we walk and we think that a 10-15 minute walk every week or so means we are getting enough exercise.
Because of our hectic lifestyle, particularly those of us who work in big cities we don’t use our legs to get us from A to B we use cars, buses and trains.
Our body then gets de-conditioned and we have to re-learn the basic movements we take for granted because we have picked up bad habits.
Did you know that a big percentage of back pain sufferers can actually alleviate and cure their lower back symptoms through regular walking.
