# Make Walking Fun. It's Good For You!

[![benefits of walking for health](https://bakerchiropractic.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Benefits-of-walking.jpg)](https://bakerchiropractic.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Benefits-of-walking.jpg)You’ve probably heard about the many health benefits of [walking](http://www.startwalkingnow.org/whystart_benefits_walking.jsp).

There are a number of ways to make walking fun, lose weight and reap these wonderful health benefits!

Consider these walking recommendations:

**Ask a Friend To Join You**

Exercise is always more fun when you have a friend along – and you may not even notice how far you’re gone or how long you’ve been walking when you’re engaged in conversation.

**Take the Dog**

Put your dog on a leash and let him/her take the lead. You’ll both get more fit.

**Make Walking a Game**

Take an uncharted path or walk until you see five “For Sale” signs. Play a new game every day.

**Walk to Music**

Take along an MP3 player and walk to the music. Speed it up to a fast song and slow it down a bit to a ballad.

**Go Window Shopping **

Not only will you save money – you’ll get some great exercise as well!

**If Weather Gets Too Hot or Too Cold**

Head to an indoor shopping center with air conditioning or heat. Walk along each level and take the stairs – no escalators or elevators!

**Enjoy a Book**

Get an audio book. You’ll be looking forward to each day’s chapter as you get in shape.

**Change The Times When You Walk **

Prevent walking from becoming too routine by changing the times that you walk. Walk in the morning one day, lunch break another or after dinner.

**Reward Yourself**

Monetary or other – to make walking rewarding as more than just exercise!

Walking can be fun and great exercise to relieve stress, to lose or maintain weight and to give yourself a feeling of accomplishment.
