Walking Exercise is one of the most popular and effective ways to start a fitness program so I have a few tips as well as a plan to get you started.

Is It Okay for Me To Walk?

Answer the following questions before you begin a walking program:
Has your doctor ever told you that you have heart trouble?
When you exercise, do you have pains in your chest or on your left side (neck, shoulder or arm)?

• Do you often feel faint or have dizzy spells?
• Do you feel extremely breathless after mild activity?
• Has your doctor told you that you have high blood pressure?
• Has your doctor told you that you have bone or joint problems, like arthritis, that could get worse if you exercise?
• Are you over 50 years old and not use to a lot of exercise?
• Do you have a condition or physical reason not mentioned here that might interfere with an exercise program?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, please check with your doctor before starting a walking program or other form of exercise.
