For those jumping into a new fitness routine, cardio is a great place to start. In fact, nine in ten (90%) Americans wish they could work out or exercise more, but they wont necessarily be signing up for gym memberships anytime soon. A majority of this group would rather take more leisurely walks (60%) or opt for walking over other types of transportation (58%) to be fitter (according to a recent Energizer Reality Check Survey).

Denises Top 3 Fall Fitness Tips – Get motivated by training for a cause:

1. Be creative when theres good weather outside take a long walk or hike to get in your mileage. If its too cold or rainy, use an indoor treadmill as you watch your favorite shows on TV. Make sure you dont find excuses to skip your workout!

2. Wear a pedometer its important to set a mileage goal and a pedometer can help you track your steps and see how close you are to that goal. On average, about 2,000 steps equals one mile.

3. Make it fun Find a friend to walk with you to encourage you and make you accountable for getting your mileage completed. Or join a walking group so you can meet new people and keep moving.
