There's soooo much good info on AR about real estate -- I think you have it covered. Yesterday I had a bad call with a potential client -- I was steamed -- and after the call I went for a walk. I came back and felt great! I did some quick research and found this:
Walking rates as one of the most popular workouts. It's easy, convenient and a great way to keep off extra weight, but all too often there are obstacles that prevent you from enjoying this activity -- or so you think.
- Obstacle 1: I work all day and can't fit a walk into my busy schedule -- It only takes about 30 minutes a day to keep you in good cardiovascular health. It's OK to break those 30 minutes into chunks of 10 or 15 throughout the day. Try taking a 10-minute loop around the block before you shower or walking the dog a little longer. If you think you are too tired after a day of work, have a light snack and a glass of water before you lace up. You will be surprised what a "pick-me-up" a good, brisk walk can be.
- Obstacle 2: The only way that I can walk is to drag my kids along and they walk too slow to get a good workout -- First, get a stroller for the little ones. If your kids are over stroller age aim for a longer walk. Also, try making it a competition. It's easy to get your kids to pick up the pace when you "time them" to see how fast they can get to the next street light or driveway. You may even find yourself having to speed up to catch up with them! If your neighborhood does not have sidewalks or is unsafe, walk at a school track, a nearby park or around the mall.
- Obstacle 3: I lost weight when I started walking, but now I barely break a sweat -- This is called a plateau; your body has become more efficient and is no longer challenged by your routine. Time to shake things up. Find a new route with more hills or try walking longer and faster. If time constraints are an issue, add some squats or high intensity moves like jumping jacks or stair-climbing into your walks.
