Exercise Tips

Walk Your Way to a Fit New You!

Did you know that walking consumes 100 calories per mile? You can actually burn up to 400 calories per hour if you walk at a brisk pace. Plus, walking can be done at any time under any conditions. Listen to music, text or talk with friends and family and you will not even feel like you are exercising! Try these strategies to burn more calories in your everyday life: park at the end of the parking lot, walk to school instead of taking the bus, climb stairs instead of using elevators. Those calories will add up! Burning an extra 250 calories a day consumes four pounds per month—that’s 24 pounds per year. Who knew something as simple as walking could change your whole life!
