5 Women Explain How Walking Helped Them Finally Lose the Weight
“When you’re obese or just overweight, the idea of exercising is daunting. Walking was something I could easily do without having to go to a gym or feeling intimidated at all. I like walking because all it takes is the choice to make simple life changes. For example, instead of driving to run errands, I take the subway. I have to walk there, go up and down the stairs, and walk home. If I have to drive, I park my car further away just so I can get those extra steps. I aim to get at least 10,000 steps a day on my fitness tracker.” —Jaime, 33, lost 90 pounds
