As the New Year approaches, you might be starting to think about what habits you want to start in 2023. Did you know that while 45% of Americans say they usually make New Year’s resolutions, only 8% are actually successful in achieving their goals? The reason for this is because most people have resolutions that are difficult to manage, require huge lifestyle changes, and cannot necessarily be tracked. In 2023, we at PFF challenge you to add the New Year’s resolution of walking more to your list! Here’s why:

Walking more has benefits both your physical and your mental health

• Walking helps boost your mood because it increases blood flow and circulation to your brain and throughout your body. This increase in blood flow has a positive influence on your nervous system, therefore lowering stress and anxiety and boosting overall mood.

• Walking also improves your cardiovascular health, aerobic capacity, blood pressure, controls your blood sugar, and helps you maintain your weight.

Walking rather than driving is great for the environment

• For every mile that you walk instead of drive, you reduce your carbon footprint by one pound.

• Opting to walk rather than drive also helps protect biodiversity. It creates less noise, less air pollution, and protects our greenspaces.
