The podcast provides specific, practical methods for beginning and maintaining an exercise routine that is designed for each person’s specific physical needs and personal goals.
Topics discussed included tips for:
- Developing your own “exercise program,” to help you stay motivated and be successful
- Selecting the right footwear
- Benefits of walking with a friend or pet as a companion
- Identifying suitable walking locations depending on your needs
- Proper posture for walking
- How to stretch properly
The podcast is also motivational, with plenty of encouragement from Dr. Callahan and the Arthritis Foundation hosts, to begin a program that you will enjoy, and which works for you. “The most important thing is to feel good about moving,’ says Dr. Callahan. “When people see goals of 10,000 steps a day, it’s so overwhelming that they don’t take the first step.”
