blog Five Ways to Rev Up Your Walking Routine

Warmer temperatures bring the opportunity to put on our walking shoes and step

outside for our workouts. But if you, like me, have been walking for many

years, you may find yourself bored with the same old routine. To avoid burnout,

try these five ways to rev up your walk.

Take a new route

If you normally take a left turn out of your driveway, take a right. If you

usually walk in your neighborhood, consider driving to a local park or trail for

your outing. The change of scenery will challenge your body in new ways, and

you'll find yourself occupied with new things to see and hear. Read more...

news Diabetes on the Rise in Saudi Arabia

Diabetes is increasingly taking hold in Saudi Arabia and other countries in the

Middle East. According to Dr. Ala Alwan, assistant director general for

noncommunicable diseases and mental health at the World Health Organization

(WHO), the problem is already vast and is increasing at an alarming rate.

Lifestyle choices are a major factor. According to Dr. Alwab, lack of physical

activity is part of the problem. Roughly 70 percent of Saudi women are not

exercising or being active. Smoking is another contributing factor, as are poor

food choices as fast food grows in popularity.

According to a diabetes awareness survey completed in 10 countries in the Middle

East and North Africa last November by Novo Nordisk, diabetes is not viewed

there as a serious disease. Of the 3000 people interviewed, 40 percent of those

at risk for diabetes said that they considered the condition " benign. "

Thirty-seven percent had never been screened or had a blood sugar test. Read

I wish I could turn right instead of left out my driveway and " enjoy " some

different scenery! Yeah, I'd be more apt to enjoy the walk because we all tend

to appreciate variety. Interesting, but this author writing to a sighted

audience sparked something in me as I read. Not seeing is perhaps a poor excuse

by itself for not exercising, or at least, I've always thought so, but I think

it is still valid to a point. I mean, if I could get up from this chair and go

outside, and turn right instead of left and enjoy a different route, I'd be more

inclined to agree and probably would find my exercise routine improved. But

since it doesn't work this way, well, I find getting motivated to exercise, and

specifically walk outside, much harder.
