Welcome to The Easy Striders Blog for the H&P Walk Across the U.S.!
This will be a great venue where we can share encouragement, motivation and inspiration while moving toward our personal and team goals! Let’s run the good race...and have fun as we walk, run and stride toward the finish line!
If your closest friends gain weight, your chance of doing the same could increase by 57 percent, according to a study in the New England of Journal of Medicine. "To maintain a healthy lifestyle, it's important to associate with people who have similar goals," says Nicholas A. Christakis, M.D., Ph.D., the study's lead researcher. Join a team, weight loss group, or train with a pal for a charity walk.
A Little Goes a Long Way!
"Fit" people—defined as those who walk for about 30 minutes a day—are more likely to live longer than those who walk less, regardless of how much body fat they have, according to a recent study of 2,603 men and women. Similarly, overweight individuals can improve their heart health by adding just 10 minutes of activity to their daily routine, says recent research. So take a walk on your lunch hour, park farther away, do laps around the field while your kid is at soccer practice—find ways to move a little more, every day.
Great Expectations!
"As a Man Thinketh..."
Great Expectations!
Research has found that visualizing success at the gym makes you more apt to stick with your routine. When exercisers pictured flattering versions of themselves making progress, 91% were motivated to keep moving! Charting your achievements can also brighten your attitude, scientists say.
