Do you track your daily steps? Using a pedometer or smartphone app can help you get an idea of how much you’re walking.

Why you should be walking for your LOW BACK

Walking isn’t just good for your legs; it’s great for your low back mechanics. Even something as short as a brisk 230-minute walk four times a week is enough to get your blood flowing, elevate your heart rate, and decrease cortisol levels. But the benefit of adding more steps into your day doesn’t just stop there. Walking can help you lose weight, lower the risk for certain diseases, improve your mood, strengthen your heart and give you more energy.

Scottsdale weather is awesome…JUST DO IT!!!

A few easy ways to fit more steps into your day:

• Change your routine and schedule a walk four times a week.
• Get outdoors and get a little sun at lunch and take a ten minute walk.
• Instead of driving up and down the rows of a parking lot, go to the back of the lot and enjoy a longer walk to the store.
• Consider using the bathroom one floor up or down.
