Getting Started:

If you are a seasoned walker, keep doing what you are doing. If you have been inactive and exhaust easily, it is better to start slow and easy. Try short daily sessions of 3 to 5 minutes and slowly build up to 15 minutes twice a week. Then, over several week's time, you can gradually speed up your way to 30 minutes of walking five days each week.

Walking is a great exercise because it is so simple to do. But if your posture is poor or your movements exaggerated, you will increase your risk of injury. Using proper technique can avoid injuries and setbacks.

Shown below is the proper technique that should be followed while walking:

Walk with smooth movements. As you walk forward, roll your foot from heel to toe. Avoid coming down hard with your heel on the ground.

Acupressure Therapy

In this fast-paced world, we are used to take burden on ourselves, taking on too many commitments and extend ourselves to the point of exhaustion. This imbalances the energy and weakens our immune system. If we take good care of our body by eating properly, taking enough rest, exercising and practicing techniques that release tension and balance our bodies then our resistance to illness will be strong but if we don't, we will be more prone to illness, i have come across an ancient therapy called 'Acupressure' which is very effective for our body and mind.

Acupressure therapy is a useful way to strengthen our immune system and to fight with illness, it also helps to release muscular tension, allowing the blood to flow freely and toxins to be released and eliminated. This therapy is performed not only for relaxation but to ease a wide variety of ailments and symptoms. Acupressure massage has various benefits to the body to list some of them they are:

Get rid off Stress

Almost every person gets stressed out daily through cranky situations in life; Now what these situations are? Is it tiring schedule, frustration or may be some other reason. Stress is the body's reaction to challenging situations and circumstances. When you are stressed, the body produces the energy to fight or run away from those situations. If stressed too frequently, your body, mind and daily routine will be affected.

Some sources of stress are workloads, fears, worries, relationships, change, commuting, disease, finances, projects and work. When "stressed out" for long periods of time, people become tired, irritable, anxious, or depressed. If it goes on without relief, it will affect your body, immune system and leads to disease.

Relaxation allows recovery from stress during this period; always take time to care for both your body and mind. I personally think that relaxed breathing is the quickest and easiest way to release some stress try some of these relaxation techniques like Yoga, Music, Exercise, Meditation, Massage, visualization technique etc. to get rid off stress.

Take your time for relaxation everyday, prioritize your time. Learn to adapt to change. Remember that the mind and body work together. When the body is healthy, mind is more positive and steady. Stress is part of the job, but when tension starts turning into exhaustion, it's time to step in and save your mind.
