[AD] 10,000 Steps

{Rubi red pumps: slow walk to a romantic dinner}

{Converse: to play in the fields}

{Tiamo ballet flats: to shop (all day) at the mall}

{Crocs: to play under the rain}

{Pedro killer heels: to strut at Collywood events}

{Havaianas flip flops: to stroll in the garden swimming pool}

{bare feet: to walk on (painful) stepping stones}

{daddy’s shoes: during family walks}

No matter what you wear on your feet, where you go, or with whom you go with, walking is a good daily routine to practice for a healthy lifestyle. To be honest, i don’t exercise a lot but i do replace that with walking. If you are not a fan of going to the gym or running on treadmills, here are a few places that you can walk in Malaysia (many people told me it is impossible because of the weather):

{Pasar Malam: once a week. the night market restricts you to only walking due to its narrow alleys. at the same time, you get to eat, shop, and enjoy what it’s like being Truly Malaysian!}

{KLCC park: once a weekend. this is my #1 go-to place to jog / walk due to its park design and structure. forget concrete jungles. this is a jungle in the concrete!}

{Bangsar: to shop. because along this street there are interesting boutiques (mostly on the second floor); which forces you to walk, climb stairs, and stroll the suburb instead of driving around because parking spaces is impossible to find}

So there you go! 3 different places for a minimum of walking exercise 3 times a week. Be it the:

{chicken walk}

{catwalk}

{or moonwalk}

Aim for 10,000 steps a day with your family and friends. In time, push yourself a lil’ to increase the number of steps and distance based on your ability. Walking is not only easy and beneficial to your health; it is also a great way to bond with your loved ones.
