Walking is one of the best exercises you can do to get active. It is also good way to lose weight, shed inches and get a good workout. Walking will also help your health as well as your heart. Everyone can benefit from walking from time to time.
Just like all other exercises you need to start out slow. So when you are walking, if you are as out of shape as you think you are don't start out speed walking you might get a little sick. So start out slow then speed up over time.
The most important thing to help you when walking is the right type of shoes. You are walking to become healthier not injured. So before you start walking make sure you have the right pair of shoes and if you don't go to your local sports and athletics store and buy yourself a pair of walking/running shoes.
When you are buying walking shoes be sure that they are very comfortable on your feet. You don't want to be walking and get cramps and blisters on your heels and feet. The length as well as how wide the shoe is going to matter too. You don't want to have blisters after the first time walking in your new shoes; you won't want to go walking anymore. So just take your time and buy the right type of walking shoe for you.
As you are looking for a new pair of walking shoes be sure that they are sold for walking and not something else. So if you are planning a walking/hiking trip you want a good shoe that's suits both. The type of walking shoe you should have is one to be firm on your feet but should be able to bend easily as well. If you happen to be walking and it starts raining you need to get a shoe that will protect your feet from dampness causing blisters.
If you can not seem to find a good walking shoe you like you should then try the running shoe section. These types of shoes are good to walk or run in. You could buy a pair of hiking boots but they would only be useful for walking in the woods and not on pavement.
You should always dress to what or how the weather is acting. If it is hot and you want to get a good workout and really sweat then you might be interested in a sweat suit. Maybe you like shorts and a t shirt better. Maybe you just like shorts and no shirt if you're a guy. It all depends on what the weather is like.
The only thing it takes to hurt your feet is a simple ankle turn to the left or right and you're out of running for about a month. Waterproof shoes are good for anything. Walking or running it doesn't matter which it is they are good for both and will protect you from the water or rain as well.
