Be sure to warm up and cool down, says Keith. Walk at an easy pace for five or 10 minutes until you are warm before kicking into high gear. Cool down at the end of your hard walk with another five to 10 minutes of easy walking. Weather doesn't have to stop your walking routine. Move your walk indoors.
Shopping malls are a popular alternative.
Many have walking clubs. In addition, if you have the money, you can purchase a treadmill. Walking on a treadmill can be just as effective as walking outdoors. Treadmills allow you to control pace and elevation. Spending a little extra money on a high-quality treadmill is worth the cost.
