Are you looking for a way to get your weekly exercise requirement in, sleep better, maybe lose a few pounds, and reconnect to yourself or friends?  Why not join millions of people around the world on April 6 by going outside for a walk.  Even better, why not begin a routine Morning Nature Walk Practice?
 
The simple act of walking has immense benefits.  Walking can help prevent diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and cancer.  It helps strengthen our bones, muscles, and our immune system.  Low on energy, feeling down, struggling to sleep?  Walking can help improve all those conditions as well.  Struggling to solve a problem, or looking for a creative spark?  Yup, walking can solve those issues as well.
 
So, what do you need to get started?  A pair of comfortable shoes and comfortable clothes is all you need to get started.  If you are looking to make an investment in this new healthy lifestyle practice, that you deserve, here are a few suggestions to make your walk more pleasurable.
 
Merrell Shoes:
 
I am a big fan of Merrell footwear. Not only are they comfortable, but they also last, and are waterproof.  So, if you are walking on pavement or on a trail, they will serve your feet well.  They are available in women’s and men’s and come in a variety of colors and styles.

Fanny pack:
Investing in a good fanny pack is a purchase that goes a long way.  Put your phone, keys, tissues, some cash, or a credit card in your fanny pack and you are ready to go not just on a walk, but anywhere that you don’t want to have to carry a purse or have your pockets weighing you down.

Earbuds:
Unlike walking on a treadmill in a gym, a morning nature walk exposes us to the many pleasant sounds nature offers.  Listening to birdsong has been shown to significantly reduce stress.  Allowing the serenade of waves gently crashing on the shore or wind whispering through leaves can also ease our weary minds and souls.  Sometimes, however, it’s nice to listen to a podcast, an audiobook, or have a chat with a friend while we walk.  Having a pair of earbuds on hand can add more variety to our Morning Nature Walk practice to keep us motivated.



There are so many more benefits and enticing ways to make your Morning Nature Walk Practice engaging and a success!  We invite you to purchase our Morning Nature Walk Program.  Learn more about the science supporting this routine, tips, and resources to empower you or your team to successfully integrate this into your healthy lifestyle, and numerous ways to better connect with nature as you wander.
 
See you outside!
