“Now I have made up my mind, but I could not find a time to walk. I am too busy and have to attend lots of other jobs”. This is the excuse most of us make to ourselves when we are thinking to start walking. It is not easy to find or fix a time schedule for walking.
If you are not a morning person and hates to get up in the morning, press snooze button of your alarm clock to get few more winks. Avoid morning walk. Exercises keeps a person fit and healthy but not at the cost of your small indulgence of sleeping a little late. Choose a different time, but it should not clash with your other activities. But never keep exercise on your back seat, put in front, do it regularly.
Your children are at school, go out at that time. You will be at work at noon, choose evening. Select a time which is most convenient and comfortable to you.
Weather also plays a role in selecting the time to walk. In summer, mid afternoon time is very warm to walk and in winter, mid afternoon is the warmest to walk. Forecast of inclement weather in the evening? Walk in the morning. Walking in light rain in a warm day is one of the most enjoyable experiences.
It is not a good idea to walk in the mall when a festival, say Christmas is around the corner. It is equally bad idea to walk in unknown area early in the morning and late in the evening.
Another big question is who will walk with you at the time you selected? Probably it is always better to walk with someone.
Selection of proper time is a factor for effective walking. Many give up walking for wrong time selection. But you will also have to make sure; you get a good walk for your health and for the fun in life.
Continue walking!!
