The Five Ws of Women Walking, Part II

Updated September 22, 2023

In Part I of this blog series, The Five Ws of Women Walking, I shared WHY women should walk every day for their Self-care. (WHY tidily encompasses WHEN and WHERE, illustrating the multi-tasking magic inherent in walking.) In today’s post I’m going to share WHO walking is for. To cut to the chase: EVERY WOMAN!

Walking is for every woman!

Having said that, here’s some questions for you:

Working woman at desk writing a to-do list.

Do you constantly tell yourself you’ll get to your health and wellness needs after you take care of, “One more thing”?
Have you ever said, “I want to exercise but I don’t have the time”?
Have you arrived a the conclusion that you actually hate they gym?
Do you feel that you’ll never find a workout that works for all of you?
Have you tried yoga, Pilates, hot boxing, etc all to no avail?
Do you feel guilty and ashamed that you aren’t getting the exercise you want and need?
Do you sit at work all day?
Do you feel lethargic, depressed, brain-fogged?
Does your body ache?
Has your doctor prescribed walking?
Is every day of your life packed full to the point of bursting?
Do you yearn for a break from it all?
Do you believe it’s impossible to enjoy exercise?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, then walking is for you.

Walking solves all these problems, obstacles, challenges and more!

Please know you’re in good company if you’re thinking, “I know I should walk but . . .” I get it! Since founding 1MWW I’ve made it a point to ask women what they think about walking, here’s the most common responses:

Walking isn’t real exercise.
Walking isn’t enough.
Walking is boring.

I hear you but no worries! In next week’s post, where I wrap up this series, I’ll address these thoughts by sharing WHAT walking really is. (And I’m throwing in a bonus HOW.)
