Hello my magnificent mates!

If you follow me on The Gram @jasper_c53 (shameless follow plug) you may have remembered one of my first Teach Me Tuesday episodes on the magical, majestic health pill, better known as promenading, ya know, taking a stroll, marching around, a good old fashioned jaunt or for you purists…walking!

Taking regular walks can deliver many physical & mental health & wellness benefits.

Walking can help prevent, control or decrease: Heart health problems, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and high-stress levels.

Walking can help improve: Overall mood and happiness, balance and coordination, boost immune function, get the creative juices flowing and increasing muscle and bone strength.

Want some tips to get those boots moving…Here ya go! Make walking more enjoyable by:

Walking with friends (6ft apart for now) or listen to music or a podcast (I’ve been on beer history podcast as of late).
Start slow and build up your walk time.
Keep your route fresh but always walk in a well-lit area and let people know where you are going to be.
If you miss a walk, no biggie homie, all is well and just remember how good walking makes you feel physically and mentally.

There is so much to see out there and walking is a great way to see it at your own pace while you grab a little exercise and boosting your wellness.

So when you’re feeling blue- Take a walk.

When you’re energy is crashing- Take a walk.

When you’re feeling sluggish after a meal- Take a walk.

When you want to take control of your wellness- Take a walk.

When you need some time to think- Say it with me now…Take a walk!

When you want to catch some rays and see some sights- All together now…Take a walk!

Cheers my fine strutting friends!
