You can walk at the same pace throughout or, if you want, you can alter the pace that you walk as indicated below. Remember that any plan is only a guide, so please do go at your own pace and do as much or as little as you can or want, celebrating your progress along the way.
Week Two
Continue with the 15 minutes of walking every other day at an easy pace as we did during week one. (remember, this doesn’t have to be done in one go). Try to add in a 5 minute or 500m continuous walk (you could consider doing 1 minute of faster paced walking and 1 minute of easy walking) once a week.
Regular exercise is good for both body and mind, get moving, even in this wintry weather (be careful of the snow and ice though) as someone who has suffered with his mental health for some years it's good to keep trying to over come the daily battle within.
The four key components of mental toughness have become known as the 4 C’s:
- Confidence where you believe in yourself and your abilities so that you can achieve success.
- Challenge where your embrace change or new opportunities instead of resistance.
- Control where you believe that you have the power to shape your own destiny.
- Commitment where you set goals and work towards achieving them.
