Use that habit and move it to your morning time if you can. If you feel the need or want to do more or push harder, try doing a few squats and wall push ups before or after walking. A mile a day is better than sitting around and rotting. You don\u2019t have to go \u2018full hulk\u2019 to workout. Keep it simple! Use your walk as a warm up and when you get back inside, do a 10-15 minute workout at home!<br \/>\nGet a gallon of water and use that as your weight if you don\u2019t have any, invest in resistant bands, some come as cheap as $3\u2026nothing expensive.
