Walking: Making Your Steps Sassier




Here is your new morning routine.....brush your teeth, wash up, give your partner a kiss, give your kitty some love and then put on your fav tennis shoes and go for a walk. WHAT? WHY? 3 good reasons:‪

1. Morning walkers tend to ‪stick with their routine ‬


‪2. ‪They sleep more soundly (and get more deep sleep)‬


‪3. ‪Boost their immune system and catch fewer colds‬


Awesome!

If you start your day with exercise life hasn't gotten in the way yet. You haven't gotten too busy AND most people who exercise 1st thing are more likely to stick to their routine for years to come versus just 25% of late-day folks. Also since your body temp is a little cooler cardio based activities feel easier (even though they are not). Be sure to still ease into your workout. I recommend 5 minutes of easy paced activity to warm your muscles up to get ready for the work ahead. Ok, now its not new news about wonderful exercise is for your sleep situation. I want to make sure you know that all exercise helps you sleep as long as it's 3 hours before bedtime.
I think its safe to say that morning walks/workouts are definitely a DO for a Sassy Girl!
