Senior Care and All Ages Walking Tip #5 - from Hearthside Home Care - Walk Indoors at Mall or on Inside Walking Track During Cold Weather

Walking Tip #5: Everyone in Greensboro NC and everywhere receiving home health, and in-home and home care services: Try not walking outside in cold weather.

Cold weather will cause some decreased sensation in your extremities and may make it harder to detect an injury or pain while walking. Instead, visit your local mall or indoor walking track to exercise when it’s too cold outside. Tuck this tip away for colder weather! Indoor walking tracks and indoor mall walking are always good options at any time of the year!
