15 Life-Changing Reasons to Walk—Because I Keep Forgetting Why I Should!
15 Reasons to Walk—Because I Keep Forgetting Why I Should!
It’s so frustrating and so ridiculous, but it’s true. Here I am, the one who had at one point lost 50 pounds through walking and I still struggle to do it consistently or even remember why I should do it in the first place.
The ADHD tax strikes again. Here’s the cycle that I fall into, and tell me if you can relate:
I gain weight.
I obsess over finding a solution.
I decide I should walk because that worked so well in the past (even though sometimes walking is boring to me).
I start walking for a few months.
I lose weight.
I get distracted by an infomercial or a YouTube workout video because it looks more “exciting”.
I injure myself doing the “exciting” workout.
I stop working out altogether.
I gain weight.
Repeat cycle. So, to help me remember why I walk for weight loss so I don’t keep getting shiny object syndrome, I’ve compiled a list of all the reasons why walking is so FIRE and why I should never stop doing it.
I hope this list will help you too if you suffer from squirrel brain as well. Oh, and to keep it nice and organized, I’ve divided the list by how walking benefits you physically, mentally/emotionally, spiritually, and one bonus one financially.
