How to Burn More Calories Walking
While walking at a relaxed pace has major health benefits and for sedentary people, it can be a great way to start to an exercise program, but walking isn’t necessarily a calorie-torching activity. So, if you’re looking to burn extra calories on foot, consider revving up your activity with these tips: TACKLE THE HILLS – Use your surrounding environment to break a sweat on a walk. Seek out the hills instead of avoiding them. If you don’t live in a hilly place, even doing hill repeats on the same hill gets your heart pumping. HIT THE TRAILS – Trails require more coordination and all-body stability to navigate roots and rocks…

July Favorites
July brought Fourth of July fireworks and celebrations and lazy days lounging by the pool and now July is over, so it’s time to talk about what I have been loving this past month: Makeup L’Oréal Infallible Pro Glow Foundation in #208 Sun Beige* – This foundation says it wears up to 24 hours.

I have been reaching for this most of the month and I love it for the hot, humid days of summer. Covergirl Tru…

Summer is here and that means one thing is for sure which is lots of sun exposure. While we love getting a healthy dose of Vitamin D, we also need to make sure to protect our skin before heading out into those intense summer rays. Applying daily SPF is a crucial part of preventing premature wrinkles, sunburns, and sun damage and with so many sunscreen variations to choose from, it can be a real guessing game trying to figure out exactly which product will protect your skin the best.

Walking is not only the simplest form of exercise that almost everyone can do, it’s also a free activity that can aid in weight loss and maintenance. But walking’s benefits go even further, so here are some more reasons to start, or keep walking: IT SHARPENS YOUR BRAIN – Walking for exercise may become increasingly important as we age and our risk for dementia and other brain disorders increases.
