What Worked For Me

This Sparked Me!

Start walking. The trick to healthy walking is not doing it today. The real trick is doing it tomorrow and the next day. We aren't talking about a stroll around the mall. Get out there and stride!

MORE INFORMATION:
My first walk was 10 minutes around the block. I was exhausted. I could have quit but I went out "tomorrow," and the next day. Then I ran. A 5k, 10k, duathlon, triathlon, half marathon. Now training for a marathon and my max distance is 18.46 miles.
