Walking is also good for your wallet. It saves on the cost of going to a gym. Walk briskly for 150 minutes each week to get a good workout. A pedometer can get you started. Begin with trying to take 1,000 steps in 10 minutes to set the right pace.

briskly：轻快地
workout：健身、体能锻练
work out：（idiom）
pedometer：计步器
pace：步伐、速度

Walking helps your mental health, too. Putting one foot in front of the other isn’t difficult. You don’t have to think about it, so you can concentrate on other things. You can consider problems or think of ideas. You can think over conversations again or just remember funny things that have happened recently.

mental：心理的、脑力的、精神的、智力的
concentrate：集中、聚集、全神贯注
think over：考虑、仔细考虑
recently：最近、近来
recent：（adj）

You can make walking part of your day. Instead of parking right next to your office, park a distance away – and walk. Instead of taking the elevator, walk. You can even have walking meetings. They are what they sound like. But instead of sitting, you walk and talk things over.

Make walking a habit, and see how it makes you feel.
