Summer is around the corner and that means the time is perfect to kick your walking practice into high gear! Here are five reasons this season is prime for getting serious about putting one foot in front of the other:
- Nature's Calling: Did you know that your eyes can distinguis more shades of green then of any other color? We are wired to love the view of lush greenery and colorful flowers. Summer turns Mother Nature into a total show-off, and we're here for it! Lacing up those sneakers and immersing yourself in all that natural beauty is like hitting the reset button for your mind and body.
- Sunshine Boost: Ah, the glorious sunshine is a natural mood booster. Say hello to serotonin, your brain's happy hormone. And guess what? Sunlight's got the magic touch to crank up your serotonin levels. So, catch those rays on your walks and let the good vibes flow! Of course, while rocking sunblock and quality sunglasses!
- More Daylight, More Fun: Who needs Netflix when you've got extra daylight hours to play with? Summer's got your back, giving you more time to strut your stuff outdoors. Whether it's a sunset saunter or a crack-of-dawn ramble, you've got plenty of time to explore and enjoy every moment.
- Flexibility Feels: You know that tight feeling across your back and shoulders when you walk out the door into the winter cold? Not these days! Thanks to the warm weather, those shoulders might naturally fall away from your ears and your muscles and joints might feel a bit more limber. Take advantage of those good limber muscles to move and groove with ease.
- Team Spirit: Summer's not just about solo adventures—it's about community too! Say hello to neighbors for an even Jetti Walk, and power up your Jetti Poles for a charity 5K.
