A wealth of new research now proves that walking will make you healthier and add years to your life. Walking is as good as running for reducing blood pressure and cholesterol and fighting heart disease. Walking can help to protect against depression, memory loss and even Alzheimer’s. It’s so simple and so effective. With SE Fitness groups you also get to meet great people and enjoy Sutton Park in the Autumn. These are just some of the testoprime side effects.
According to The American Heart Association, walking is one of the best exercises out there. Just 30 minutes a day delivers multiple benefits, including reducing the risk of coronary heart disease, improving blood pressure and sugar levels, maintaining body weight and reducing the risk of obesity, and many more. Walking has the lowest dropout rate from any other exercises — because it’s so easy to do, you can do it anywhere, and it requires no special equipment other than a good pair of walking shoes — and a recent research study showed that walking for an hour or more a day has the greatest impact on increasing lifespan than any other activity, speaking of health check the latest treatments from okinawa flat belly tonic reviews.
But more than just being really great for your physical well-being, walking is one of the best things you can do to feel more energized, positive, and well, yes, even happier. A recent study found people who spent some time outside daily had a greater sense of vitality, which led to improved moods and increased resilience against physical illnesses. Other studies have shown that just 20 minutes of being outdoors can help boost how you feel and when combined with exercise, the benefits multiply.
Setting a health and fitness goal can really help you to keep motivated. Everyone’s keen the first week in January but by February some of us need a bit more help! At SE Fitness we have a wide range of runners and walkers with infinitely varied motivation. However setting a goal that is personal to you and relevant and achievable will help both your motivation and enjoyment. Here’s a few different goals you might like to consider:
Run or Walk Regularly – Regular running or walking (at least twice per week) will see your fitness improve especially if you are new to exercise. Technology gives us a number of means of tracking our steps / runs / walks and so it’s easy to set a goal that you can measure. I like the #walk1000mile and #run1000mile challenges but of course it does not have to be 1000 miles. Last year I ran 768 miles which sounds better if it turn it into Kilometres 1235!! Let’s see if I can keep injury free long enough to run more than 800 miles in 2019!
Keep on Running – I was talking to one of our longest standing runners who reminded me that Sally used to make new runners write down their goals. Everyone put the same kind of thing “Run 5K”, “Finish a 10K” and so on. She said with hindsight her goal would have been simply to still be running at 60! To be able to run long-term is an excellent motivator for many of you but it still requires preparation – the right training, maintaining flexibility, working on strength, a good diet and generally looking after yourself with regular massage and appropriate rest, you can even find a pregnancy massage Ipswich service if needed.

Enter a Race / Walk Event – Completing an event may be the ultimate goal for many. An event on the horizon forces me outside to run even when I don’t really feel like it. Your race goal may be the local parkrun, 10K or something longer. As you know I’m signed up for a Trail Run in the Peak District in March. I’m not motivated by running faster but I love events where the terrain is the challenge and running in a beautiful, wild party of the country is a massive bonus too!
Run or Walk for Charity – Many people enter races or events (there are lots of walking challenges out there too) specifically because they want to raise money for a cause that means something to them. Choose a charity that has special meaning to you helps with fundraising because folks see your passion and understand why you are raising money for that organisation.

Become an SE Fitness Leader – There is no better motivation to turning up regularly than being the one who is leading the group! For anyone who has been running or walking a while helping others to achieve their goal can be extremely rewarding and adds a whole new dimension to your own running or walking.
Enjoy it! – This may sound like an unusual goal but I found this quote which sums up what I mean nicely: “It’s a treat being a runner, out in the world by yourself with not a soul to make you bad-tempered or tell you what to do! Running and walking offer us the opportunity to get away from it all for a moment, to enjoy the freedom of time outdoors. Take a moment to enjoy it because that’s the best motivation of all.
