> If you're having trouble upping the

intensity of your daily walks or jogs, focus on the finish line.

> In one study of older adults, researchers

found that the study participants were more likely to walk close to peak

walk for a specific duration of time. Knowing that you can stop once you

reach your destination may be just the motivation you need to pick up the

pace.
