I’m sharing #beyondordinary in my life as part of a Sahale Snacks® sponsored series for Socialstars™
The New Year put me in mind of changes and getting healthier, so lately, I’ve been walking daily for about 30 minutes a day. Walking allows me to enjoy the changing weather, gets me moving (a great aerobic exercise), and gives me some time alone to clear my head and think about things as I breathe in the beautiful crisp air. I speed walk, to get my heart pumping, and it feels great!
When I go for a walk, I pull on my walking shoes, and take just three things along…a small bottle of water, my podcasts, and a couple bars of Sahale Snacks layered nut bars.
Everyone knows that we should take care of ourselves and be more active, but where do you start? Walking is a low impact way for anyone, of any age, to get in better shape, maintain a healthier weight, and boost their stamina and metabolism, and anyone can do it. Having some good music or fun podcasts to listen to if you don’t have a steady walking partner to talk to helps keep going. For energy boosts, Sahale Snacks Almond Vanilla Latte Layered Nut Bar are a tasty and healthy grab & go snack, and provide minerals and protein in two layers- crunchy, dry roasted nuts on top of a layer of creamy cashew butter drizzled with real chocolate. And of course water, to stay hydrated! I take a small bottle so it’s not obtrusive at all.
The best parts of walking? Even ten minutes a day is good for you, and you get to enjoy adventures as you trek to new parts of your neighborhood or local parks. It’s very social, you can stop and chat with people along the way, or grab a friend to take with you and chat- it makes you completely oblivious to and feelings of being tired.
So just lace up your sneakers, grab your walking necessities, and go! It’s a new year… make 2016 a great one by starting off on the right foot, then the left, then the right again. Just get out there and start! Make sure a healthy snack is part of the trip. Sahale Snacks® seeks out the highest quality ingredients for their snacks.
