• Safe, well-lit surface
• Closed-toe shoes
• Optional: walking DVD

Instructions:

• Walking can be done anywhere, indoors, outdoors, in wide open places or in small spaces
• Walk around the neighborhood or go to a nearby park or high school track
• Walk with a partner or group - this is a great opportunity to build healthy relationships

Here are a few suggestions to help with a walking routine:

• Start light and build up the duration and/or intensity of walks
• Track progress (500 steps is about ¼ mile)
• Purchase a walking DVD for indoor walking in small spaces
• Walk while listening to a favorite playlist
• Have fun with it! Create a playlist with “ Walk“ in the title (e.g., Walking on Sunshine, Walk Like an Egyptian, I Walk the Line, These Boots are Made for Walking)
