The post Ideas for a Mindful Nature Walk appeared first on Beautiful Trends Today.
]]>Walking can often feel like a way to get from one destination to another, but the physical process of walking is an incredible thing to take part in. With each footstep, try to acknowledge the power of your body in being able to move you around like this. Let yourself notice how each step feels, in your feet and the rest of your body.
Whether you’re walking in a park, along a beach, or through a forest, really notice the sensory input around you. Focus on the detail of a tree trunk, or listen to the sound of children playing in a nearby park. It doesn’t matter what it is or whether you particularly love it, this practice is about being completely present and appreciating the immense variety of phenomena in the world around you.

]]>The longer your walk is, the more amazing your calorie workout is going to be. The golden standard of 10,000 steps a day can only be achieved if you actively walk for about one to two hours a day, but you can go the extra mile and double or even triple that number when you have free time on your hands.
Going on steady, relaxing walks is all fun and games, but your walk will be more effective if you switch things up. Add intensity to your working routine by adding uphill terrain to the mix, and try increasing your pace as you go along to burn more calories.
Speaking of increasing your pace, you should also give power-walking a shot. In addition to being more intense than regular walking, this activity is far superior because it allows you to activate more muscle groups and use your arms along the way.

]]>If you’re looking for ways to get motivated, set up a weekly step challenge leading up to the holiday or a daily one to see which of your friends and family can log in the most steps. You can make it more exciting by setting prizes for the winners.
When it’s too cold or rainy outside to work out, set up an indoor walking workout with your friends and family on Zoom or FaceTime. If you’re looking for an extra challenge, include bodyweight exercises or the stairs.
Do you need structure to stick to your workouts? Then, set up walking workouts on a spreadsheet and send them to your family and friends. Each week, everyone can log their progress.
Have you always wanted to try races, but been too intimated to give them a shot. Well, many race organizers are creating virtual walking and running events like turkey trots and the Jingle Bell 5K, which are perfect for beginner racers.
