Fitness Friday * Walk your errands
We talk a lot about walking for exercise. It’s good for every fitness level. Almost everyone can do it. And you can do it almost anywhere.
This weekend, we challenge you to combine your fitness goals with a little green living.
Walk your errands.
Either skip the car or bus altogether, or park/ride once, and then walk all your errands until you get back to your car/bus stop. If you’re in a small town or a big city, you can easily make this a habit. If you’re in the suburbs, drive to the mall or shopping area, and park out in the “snowpile section” (you know, where they pile the snow in the winter – way out yonder), then walk everywhere until you’re done.
(By the way, you’ll also save on gas or bus fare! Budget tip!)
Can you get to the library, post office, grocery store, dry cleaner, card shop, drug store, farmer’s market – all at once? Bring your reusable bags, maybe a wagon or cart, and see how far you can go. Let us know what you can do.
