Your get-walking guide!

Want to get walking like Hailey? Here are some tips to get you started:

● Lace up Any comfy clothes will do, but skip flip-flops or flat sandals. Pros say shoes with cushioning protect joints—so you won’t be too achy to walk the next day! ● Perfect timing Start with a walk that feels manageable to you, even if it’s only 10 minutes. Gradually increase duration in five-minute intervals as you feel stronger. Can’t fit in a 60-minute walk? Research shows several shorter walks are equally effective!

● Feel strong fast Mix in little bursts of speed (from 10-30 seconds) every three minutes or so. The exertion feels minimal, yet experts say it still triggers changes in our muscles that make them instantly more powerful.

● Sip slush, beat heat Try a 7-Eleven Lite Slurpee or just blend frozen fruit and water to drink before a warm-weather walk. Per one New Zealand study, you’ll feel so much cooler, you’ll go 19% longer without realizing it!

● Get motivated

Having a specific destination —your office, a friend’s house —motivates us to walk most, say University of Washington scientists. Crave A/C? Hit the mall and aim for a certain store!
