Any of you snake experts know what this one is? I got in my #5KWalkingDay steps earlier than normal today ahead of the predicted rains coming. I saw this snake on the last leg of my walk. #snakesofinstagram #snakeswhileoutwalking #5KWalkingDay573 #walkingisfun #walkingishealthy #walkingisbetterthansittingonthecouch #RollTide🏈 #BeatOleMiss (at Enterprise, Alabama) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGKldwpFgTp/?igshid=ctel1xqoswp4

Well, the rain from #TropicalStormSally have been falling all day so I finally decided I just needed to get out there and #gitrdone. Days like today it would be easier to have a treadmill but I appreciate the challenge the elements provide from time to time. Today was one of those days. I managed to miss any significant rain but it was a little windy. Praying for safety from the storms for all in its path. #5KWalkingDay549 is done. Tomorrow will have its own set of challenges. #walkingcanbechallenginsomedays #walkingisfun #streaks #walking #move (at Enterprise, Alabama) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFN2lsglo5b/?igshid=8lugo2hw6w49

Just a reminder that outdoors is not closed, at least where I live here in Alabama. Sunny & 85 degrees on this beautiful Saturday. If weather permits where you are & you are reasonably healthy (i.e. not dead), get off the couch, go outside and go for a walk. You will be glad you did. #5KWalkingDay377 #coronaviruswalking #covid19walking #Walking #walkingisfun #walkingisbetterthansittingonthecouch #duckcomnander #ninelineapparel #alabamawalking #AmericaStrong🇺🇸 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Sbhafl2D0/?igshid=z1gedqr4jni6

The Benefits Of  Walking

Walking is one of the first major life skills we learn as infants. It provides us with transportation, freedom, and a bevy of other benefits. It’s one exercise that we can do from age one to 101, if we are so lucky. 

You often hear the expression “take the stairs,” which is another way of encouraging physical movement. In choosing to stay active by using the stairs - and walking - we are choosing a healthier lifestyle. 

Walking helps you attain and maintain a healthy body weight. It helps keep your blood pressure and cholesterol lower, wards off various conditions (such as diabetes and heart disease), strengthens your muscles and bones and improves your balance and coordination. Some studies also show that walking daily can lower your risk for Alzheimer’s and help you live longer! 

If you walk briskly - at a pace of about 4.5 mph - you also achieve some great cardiovascular results. Walking at a brisk pace daily can greatly reduce your risk of a major cardiovascular event. 

Not only does walking help improve your overall physical health, it’s great for your mental health as well. People who exercise regularly report an enormous sense of well-being. Who doesn’t want to feel more energetic throughout the day and sleep better at night?

Walking can also have a profoundly positive impact on depression, anxiety and ADHD. It also relieves stress, improves memory, and boosts your overall mood. Even small amounts of exercise can make a difference. No matter your age or fitness level, you can walk to feel better!

This is my cat friend that sits in the middle of the sidewalk every evening on my neighborhood walk and comes to me for pets. I am thinking about assembling a small army of the black cats in the neighborhood . . . #tinypanther #blackcats #atwatervillage #losangeles #walkingisfun #catfriends (at Atwater Village, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3D15vaJEFk/?igshid=tqytxclngjcu
