Walking Tips: Do's and Don'ts

,

Set a goal, make a time commitment and keep track of your progress! Do...See a doctor.  Talk to your doctor before beginning an exercise program and get a full physical. Let the doctor choose an exercise program that is right for you.

Do...Drink water. Extremely important on hot and humid days, drink before, during and after your walk.

Do...Eat well.  Eating a healthy and balanced diet will help you get the maximum benefits from walking.

Do...Choose a smooth level surface. This will result in less fatigue and fewer injuries.

Don't...Walk right after or before meals. Walking 2 hours after a meal and waiting 20 minutes after your walk to eat should be sufficient.

Don't...Walk on ice or walk during a lightning storm.  Try walking inside the mall on days with bad weather.

When you enroll in a Medical Weight Loss Clinic program, the length of your program will be determined by you and the staff based on the amount of weight you want to lose and how quickly you want to lose it. Your actual weight loss will be determined by many factors, including, but not limited to: your medical circumstances, the plan you choose, adherence to the meal plan and use of nutritional supplements. Your goal and program duration information will be given to you in writing at the time of enrollment. As your program progresses, the rate you lose weight may change and you will have the opportunity to discuss this at every daily visit with your weight loss consultant, where changes to your meal plan and/or program can be made.
