Give Your Walk a Boost

How to go farther, get stronger, and find more calm

- ALYSSA JUNG

No matter how much you love walking, a little change to your routine can help you get even more out of it. That's pretty amazing, considering how healthy this low-impact exercise already is. "Here are just a few benefits to cheer about," says Teddy Savage, national lead trainer at Planet Fitness. "Walking helps your heart by supporting healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels, improves your mood, and keeps your bones, joints, and muscles strong."

The key is to get out there and keep getting out there. To help you do that, we've created this simple three-week challenge. It's the perfect way to jumpstart your training for our Walk for Wellness (prevention.com/virtual-walk) too. As Savage says, "You can make walking more of an adventure, and it's easier than you think."
