Walking As Fun Exercise!

Walking is some of the best exercise you can get, but it can become a bit monotonous. Whether you need a nudge out the door, training inspiration, or a reason to keep going, here are some enthusiasm boosters.

Make it a game. Walk as long as it takes to spot, say, three red cars. Then set a new game objective, and keep on walking.

Follow a new leader.Let your dog set the pace.

Entertain a party.Plan a progressive dinner where each course is a walk away from the next. Start with healthy appetizers at one house, the main course at the next stop a couple of miles away, and dessert at the third.

Travel an unmapped course. Don't plan your route. Instead, make decisions at every turn based on what looks interesting. Follow a curious-looking winding street to its end, or a hill to its top view.

Dust 'em.Pick a walker on your path who seems a bit more fit and faster than you. Then try to pass her.

Enjoy a mini-getaway.Plan an itinerary that takes you and a friend on a brisk, hour-long walk ending at a coffee shop. Or have breakfast before heading off for your favorite antique store, then browse awhile before starting for home.

Feed the birds.Bring along bread crumbs or maybe the Sunday paper to read on a stop in the park.

Play it by ear.For an interval workout, bring your MP3 player. Speed up whenever you hear a fast song.
