10,000 Steps A Day Keeps A Healthy Heart

Have you ever count how many steps did you take everyday? During the ancient time, walking is the only way for a person to gets from one place to another. Regardless of the distance, our ancestors spends most of their time walking. As technology begins to advance, we human began to forget about walking. Now, we can get from one place to another within minutes.

 
Nowadays, we try to avoid walking too much by replacing them with cars, bikes, elevator and even prefered online activities to get things done. Walking is actually the best form of exercise for everyone regardless of age. It helps to trim up the tummy, keeps our heart healthy and refresh our mind with the nature of the earth.

If you are in Kuching, you can try to have a good walk at Friendship Garden. While walking along the garden, you would be amazed with the surroundings too.

Anyway, regardless of where it is, we should have the mindset to encourage walking in our daily life to keep us healthy and a step further from sickness. Here's some suggestion of how we can practice walking in our busy working life:

 
  • Avoid lift, instead use staircase
  • Park your car a bit further from the office entrance and walk your way to the office!
  • If there's an urgent issue to settle with another colleague, walk up to her/his place instead of calling their extension
  • If there's public transport to get to your workplace, make use of them instead of driving
