Hack your walk with Nordic Walking Guy’s 3 rules:
- Walk with purpose!
- Be consistent!
- Remember everything counts but not everything matters!
Nordic Walking Guy’s 1st rule is “Walk with purpose!” This linked article explains why walking with purpose makes sense. One thing I noticed about incorporating Nordic walking poles into my walking is that I tend to walk more briskly, i.e., walk with purpose.
Main point: “…walking with a purpose makes people walk faster and feel healthier more than walking for leisure.”
More about it:
- “…people who walked primarily to places, like to work or the grocery store, reported better health than people who walked for fun, relaxation, or just the fun of it.”
- “Instead of commuting from one room to another in your house, take a detour, just get out and walk in your neighborhood as if you are commuting to work, then come back home, and start your work in your office space.”
- “…walking for any duration or any purpose, but especially walking to work, makes people feel healthier.”
- “…the benefits of walking mainly come from home-based walking trips.”
Why it matters:
- “…moving, in general, improves how you feel — and that shift can translate into positive health outcomes. Getting these benefits doesn’t require a taxing sweat session in the gym.”
- “Walking can have significant impacts on public health outcomes by helping individuals meet the recommended physical activity goals within their daily routines, without any monetary cost, and the need for new skills and extra planning.”
