Nursing

Put one foot in front of the other

Stressed Out Nurses Weekly, July 30, 2007

Exercise rejuvenates the body and the mind. A simple 30-minute walk has beneficial effects. Physiologically, walking provides aerobic exercise to boost your mood, and the endorphins released help relieve pain while they create a sense of well-being.

The benefits of walking include:

  • It reduces stress
  • It clears your mind
  • It gives you an opportunity to tap into your creative side
  • It helps you generate new ideas
  • It lets you solve problems on foot
