The Solution: Wise Women Walk

Walking is the most popular form of physical activity. It has the lowest dropout rate according to the American Heart Association and best of all, it’s cheap! But what if you don’t have time? I have literally hopped out of bed, thrown on a pair of old pants, t-shirt and sneakers and BAM! I am out the door! By learning the art of racewalking, you can accomplish the same goal as running without all the stress to your joints. In fact, a huge study of over 32,000 women and more than 8,000 men conducted by the National Walker’s Health, found that those who took the longest weekly walks, not necessarily accumulated the most mileage per week, were more likely to use less medication.

As a Wise Woman Walker, you will not only connect with a group of women to ensure your safety, but also bond with women who support, encourage and hold each other accountable while walking your way to wellness. As you begin to love your body through its transformation, you will learn that physical activity does not have to be strenuous to be beneficial and you will be more likely to get the recommended level of weekly physical activity. With a newfound pep in your step, you will become a major motivator to colleagues, friends and family who you can invite to join your Wise Women Walk group.

When the pounds begin to melt away and your waistline decreases, your mood will improve and you’ll have feelings of wellbeing. Any depression or anxiety will begin to evaporate like boiling water. You will find your memory improving with the increase of blood flow to your brain and even your sex life will get a boost! After a short while, if you’re consistent, you’ll begin to see a significant decrease or elimination of your risk for heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and some cancers. Your muscles, bones and joints will feel better allowing you to embrace and enjoy your wisdom-time. You’ll feel so good that you may begin to wonder why you didn’t start sooner! You will discover that movement is the key to the fountain of youth and life is just beginning!
