Walking doesn’t sound like all that much fun, especially when you compare it to other activities that you could be doing for 30 minutes.  But it has become alot of fun  for me.  With my diet in full swing of week 2 I am trying to get out and walk for 30 minutes at least 3-4 times a week as well as continuing my push up and squat routine until I start going to the gym to get the full body workout that I need.

Walking has become fun because it has allowed me to get outside with my fiance and spend some time together that we normally would have spent doing dishes, watching tv, or reading, or some other chore . And I love that.  We don’t often get time to just talk and when we are walking we get to catch up with each other about how our day was and what is new in our lives and what are plans are for the week and I really enjoy it.  Another reason I love to walk is that I live in a really old neighborhood and get to see a ton of great architecture and unique houses that I probably would have just driven past and never noticed without taking the time to get outside.

So get outside and get stepping, you will be healthier, you will become leaner, you might find something beautiful, or it might just be what a relationship needs to get a little better.
