HEALTH AND NUTRITION
Work off that burger... Walk off that burger! During these challenging in which we find ourselves, people have had to make changes to their fitness routines as gyms still remain closed, and equipment has been hard to get hold of. So, more and more people have been taking themselves outside and turning to one of our most common primal movements and natural forms of exercise ‌ walking! When people think about working out, more often than not, walking is not an exercise that they think to include in their weekly routine. But they should. Walking is actually the safest, least expensive, and overall, most beneficial way to lose weight and improve cardiovascular health. All ages can take part and it’s absolutely free. 72
I have been running for the past few years now as part of my cardio vascular workouts, and training to enter various events. But over time I have had to deal with various injuries which have stopped me consistently being able to run. However, I still really wanted to enter a challenging event, and it was at this time, as I was trawling the internet for something to do, that I came across the Oxfam Trailwalk, a 100km walk over the South Downs that had to be completed within 30 hours. Walking I thought, yeah, I could do this. You had to participate in a team of four people and you had to have a support crew throughout the whole time you were out there. So, I recruited three other girlfriends to walk with me and pleaded with our husbands to join us and support us throughout the Cibare Magazine
