Greetings!,

How is your health?

It seems like a pretty basic question, right? Yet, if you were a casual observer, or new to the US, your impression would be that all Americans have poor health just by the number of drug commercials we see everyday.

Most of us seem to understand that we can greatly maintain, or improve, our health with simple choices; eating healthy, getting enough sleep and exercising regularly are some ways how. For much of this, gyms,dieticians, and medication are not needed.

I have discovered after my fall last year the benefits of walking. Most weeks I will walk long distances 4 or 5 times. I have also added a weighted vest to get a little bit more from the walks I take. What surprised me was reading an article by a physical therapist discussing how walking can be hurting you and not helping you.

The 5 most common errors she listed are these:

1) Walking while scrolling

2) Wearing the wrong shoes

3) Not balancing your routine

4) Not considering walking speed

5) Not staying consistent

I will post the article and video on this topic below. If you re looking to change your routine, looking for something new, or even want to check your progress, I feel it will be worth your time to take a look at.

5 common walking mistakes that could hurt your progress

As always, thanks for reading.
