Health and Diet
Note hunger as your bodys way of letting you know the gas tank is low! Consider how varying degrees of hunger feel. Does your hunger progress from the sensation of stomach pangs to a touch of lightheadedness? Gone ignored, the sensation grows until it is no longer easy to make healthy food choices. Eat when youre hungry, so you don't get to the point you want to eat everything in sight.

Fitness
When you are walking, your posture should be naturally tall. You don't want to bend forward. Don't force yourself to be ramrod straight but also dont slouch, overarch your back or lean too far forward from your hips. Relax your shoulders, widen your chest and pull your abdominals inward. Think about zipping up a tight pair of pants! Keep your head and chin up and focus straight ahead.
