How can one plan a walk.
Mark your calendar for the date that you have decided to walk for the above reasons and to relax yourself. Just decide on the place which is close to you. If you are a nature lover, you can choose some park close to your house or some hill or mountain. The reason to stay close to your house is to spend minimum time in driving and maximum while walking. One can set his own walking target, say if one can walk 2 miles a day he can walk at a slow pace for 4 miles. So target those 4 miles.
