Nordic Walking Guy's 3 rules: Rule 2

What does it take to achieve your goals through Nordic walking? You need to follow these three rules  to build fitness through Nordic walking.
  1. Walk with purpose!
  1. Be consistent!
  1. Don't eat like a teenager!

It's almost time to welcome in a new year. You know the drill. The gym fills up in January, the refrigerator and pantry empty of junk food, the library books stack up as we kick off our resolutions to exercise more, eat less, and get better about reading instead of watching TV and surfing the Internet.

There are many suggestions for keeping your New Year's resolutions, so here's another one for staying consistent with your Nordic walking. I like to vary the routine, walking doing intervals (alternating fast walking with moderate walking) to vary the effort. That keeps my interest level up. Some people like to listen to their music. Others prefer to walk with others and socialize. The important thing is to find what keeps your interest level up so you can keep walking.
