Studies show that walking briskly on a regular basis:
- Improves circulation and helps your heart and lungs work more efficiently.
- Burns calories to lose weight.
- Eases tension and provides energy.
- Be sure to stretch before walking, particularly the backs of your legs and thighs.
- Move at a brisk pace for deep breathing and increased heart rate.
- Don’t push yourself. If you are too breathless to hold a conversation, you’re walking too fast.
- Be sure to “cool down” by finishing with a slower walk.
When you join the Mall Walker program, you will receive an ID card and a personal log to record your distance. Walkers receive fun rewards based on the number of laps completed. It’s fun and easy to accumulate miles while walking the path to fitness at University Mall.
