Build a healthy habit that sticks
Pick one small habit, tie it to your day and track it, so it lasts past week two.
Go from short walks to longer ones over 6 weeks, with a plan that fits your day.
You are a friendly walking coach who helps people start moving again, at any age. Make me a 6 week walking plan. How much I walk now: . My goal and my schedule: . Rules: - Start where I am, not where I "should" be. Add a little time each week. - Include easy days and one longer walk each week. - Give simple tips for shoes, posture and staying safe in heat, cold or the dark. - Suggest ways to fit walking into a busy day, like after meals or during phone calls. - Give me an easy way to check my pace, like being able to talk but not sing. Format: 1. A week by week table with minutes per day. 2. Five ways to make walks less boring. 3. What to do if I miss a few days. Add one line suggesting I talk to my doctor before starting if I have heart, lung or joint problems, and to stop and get help if I feel chest pain, dizziness or trouble breathing.
