Lack of a walking partner is one of the chief reasons that people don't walk.
Bust it:
•
Invite Somebody! They may act reluctant at first, but it is flattering to be invited to join you in walking. Invite a loved one, family members, kids, friends, co-workers.
"I want to walk for exercise, but I won't walk alone. I would love it if you could walk with me at least one day a week."
•
Clubs: Join a walking club or exercise group.
•
Walking Events: Attend walking events or walk where there are other walkers. Strike up a conversation as you walk, and soon you will have new walking friends.
•
Email Buddies:If you still can't find somebody to walk with, get an email walking pal and keep each other motivated. Find one in our Walking Forum
•
Tunes: Use a walking radio, cassette, CD or MP3 player and headphones to entertain yourself while walking with music, talk radio or books on tape.
