Start slowly. Begin with 5–10 minutes at an easy pace and gradually increase over weeks.
Set goals. Set realistic goals for yourself, such as 20–40 minutes of walking five days a week.
Adjust your plan. Find ways to fit in brief walks if you’re busy or traveling.
Don’t let the weather get you down. Walk indoors at malls or community centers when needed.
Plan several different routes. Choose from multiple routes to keep things interesting.
