It’s time for you to step out!

Walking 30 minutes a day can make you healthier and more energetic.  It can also help reduce your RealAge (sorry, we can’t reverse your calendar age) by reducing your risk of heart attack and by lowering “bad” cholesterol and raising “good” cholesterol.  A brisk walk is a great way to reduce stress, depression, and feelings of anxiety.  Walking may be the single best thing you can do for your health and it doesn’t require special equipment. 

• Walking 30 minutes above and beyond adds about 3,000 to 4,000 additional steps a day
• Even with no change in diet, 30 minutes per day of walking may prevent weight gain
• Walking reduces your risk of heart attack
• Walking reduces your risk of developing high blood pressure and may reduce it
• Regular walking reduces your risk of developing type 2 diabetes
• A brisk walk is a great way to reduce stress, depression and feelings of anxiety
• You can take three 10 minute walks each and get the same benefits of 30 minutes of straight walking.

So don’t wait any longer, you will have more energy to enjoy life and your family.  You will also be better equipped to help people achieve their individual potential through fitness! (Gold’s Gym Mission)
