When I decided to make a habit out of walking every day, I was surprised to find the importance of the right footwear. And in a close second, why a Nancy Sinatra song would inspire my first blog. “These Boots Are Made For Walking” doesn’t really have the flavor you’d expect to lift a person to get out there and take up walking.
But shoes did turn out to be a huge part of it. My sedentary lifestyle didn’t care what I put on my feet. Walking 3 miles a day did.
So I was pretty surprised to find a pair of Skechers that made my feet feel better on than off. For someone raised at the beach, that’s saying a lot.
I started walking because my physical therapist said to. I continued walking because I really began to enjoy it. But I wouldn’t have without the right equipment. Namely:
A good pair of shoes
A good camera on my phone
Spotify and a pair of earbuds
I don’t know about you, but an exercise program has to be sustainable if it’s going to work for me. Since I love to explore, walking turned out to be a perfect fit. Three years later, it’s still a daily habit.
