Old Folks, Cops & Walking

Filed under: Uncategorized — Thyre @ 4:21 pm

So yesterday I went to Subway, and as I came out there was a little old lady and her husband walked up to a parking enforcement officer just as he was writing out a ticket for the car.

The older man says, “Can’t you help out a senior citizen?” and the officer barely looks up but continues to write out the ticket. So the lady calls him a colorful name, and the officer sticks the ticket on the windshield and writes another for worn out tires.

This time dude pelts him with a plethora of profanity and the officer continues to find reasons to cite the car. After about 3 minutes of this I thought this is so not happening, then the old couple looks up and sees the shuttle bus for the assisted living pulling in.

They laughed and smiled at each other as they got on the bus back to the retirement home. Hahaha

Anyway I want to give you a couple of pointer for walking properly for fitness (I was reminded of this because of the way some old people kinda shuffle along).

When you are power walking, keep the top of your head up and your shoulders back like a proud soldier.

Walk so that your heel touches the ground first, then roll your weight forward.

Be sure to swing your arms and keep them bent naturally at the elbow as you walk; this will increase intensity.

And lastly, when you are power walking for fitness be sure to warm up by starting a slower pace, then increase your pace and even add a hill to increase intensity. Finish with a cool down by walking slower again. Cooling down allows the heart rate and muscles to return to normal.

So get out there and walk; properly, often, and with intensity!
