Walking

This past week I have rediscovered the joy of an early, brisk walk. Since I started working out consistently to take better care of my body, I started walking... Considering myself a sedentary person before, walking was an easy and confortable approach to exercise... I only needed to grab my sneakers and had some confy clothes... And voilá!

But my morning walk proved to be different in many ways... First, I really liked it very much. Not only because I started to notice some physical changes, that helped me to continue being motivated... But some intelectual and spritual changes too!

My morning walk has helped to define and organize my day in a better way! The music I walk to, help me relax, energize or simply continue to be or feel the way I wake up... Music and walking have help me in relaxing and being more focused... While walking, I also meditate and reflect on issues that I consider important to achieve during the day, on sharing with my hubby and the girls... Or I get ideas that I need to put in writing like these posts or things that needed to be done! It' also a great opportunity to enjoy nature... Love to watch the changing colors in the sky!

Maybe in the future, I will start running (I have the dream of running at least a half-marathon), but first I need to prepare my body in a better way... Meanwhile, I will truly enjoy my morning walks!! Give it a try, you'll enjoy it! Happy trails!

Ps: In case you are wandering... I walk for 45-60 minutes daily (including weekends) or at least 5 times a week, in order to make it a great cardio routine!
