Walk, walk, walk, walk walk [Wise Bread]
You've been doing it since you were, like, 2 years old (and maybe earlier than that). Back then, it was a huge accomplishment, and a testament to your dedication and development. So why do we go out of our way to keep from having to walk places? You can increase your health drastically if you just work in a little walking. Wise Bread readers already know this, because they posted a great article over on their site on this very subject. It was hard to choose one of the points as to how to work some walking into your life, so here's one of my biggest pet peeves:1: WALK from the back of the parking lot.
Whether it’s at a grocery store or your job, park much further away from the doors than you usually do (making sure you’re in a safe spot of course). Those extra hundreds of steps you take each time will really add up.
For crying out loud, do it. Stop blocking the parking lot waiting for one guy to strap in his kid, put his groceries in the trunk, and pull out just so that you can be within ten spots of the front door. Who cares? If you're buying something heavy, that's why they made carts.
