Walking is easy and simple and just about anyone can do it.

Walking does not need any special skills (we’ve been walking since we were toddlers), equipment, clothing, or warm ups and there are no fees to pay. all that is required is a pair of good quality, comfortable walking shoes (and for some people the advice of their doctor).

Health professionals recommend 45 minutes to an hour a day of walking (it doesn’t need to be done all at one time!)

The same professionals say people who walk have a better chance of living longer.

It sounds very encouraging, but walking must be done using common sense and with safety first in mind at all times.

The only solution for the pedestrian is defensive walking. here are some tips:

* Modern automobiles are quiet. So always look both ways in quick succession to make sure a car isn’t bearing down on you before you start across any street or road.

* Drivers make mistakes. Sometimes they don’t stop at intersections when they should. Or they don’t signal for turns. Anticipate these kinds of drivers.

* Cross the roadway only at intersections or designated crosswalks. and signal your crossing to motorists. an umbrella or newspaper works fine. Remember, you may not be as fast on your feet as you once were.

* Watch traffic carefully. Don’t count on cars to stop for you at the last moment. Wait for a long break in traffic.

Bodyweight exercise routines were developed so that an individual can use their own body and movements to exercise as opposed to expensive gym or weight lifting equipment. Instead of building strength and endurance in just one area of your body it allows you to build it throughout your whole body.

Many of the exercises are familiar ones, or a new “take” on an old bodyweight exercise, but don’t be fooled into thinking that it’s not effective because it is familiar. Many newer forms and methods of the familiar exercises have been created as well as ideas for increasing the difficulty level of the exercise; things like adding ankle or wrist weights to your routine or different positioning of legs, arms or hands can change the set of muscles being used.

So you have decided to use bodyweight exercises as your workout routine? But how can you get the most from this routine? These five tips, when used consistently, will do just that. Read the full story
