Hello friends, today I woke up very early with the idea of filling up the car's gas tank, my wife accompanied me to the gas station, we left the house at 5:30 in the morning, because to get subsidized gasoline you always have to be early to queue, ***Well friends***, thank God I got the turn with number 47, so at 7:00 I had already filled the tank, the truth is that this is the first time I leave the gas station so quickly, so I decided to invite my wife to take a walk on the beach to take advantage of the fresh morning air, like we did two years ago.
Well my friends, we live about 800 meters from the beach in Puerto la Cruz, this beach is the one that is located along the boulevard of the promenade "La Cruz y el Mar", formerly known as "El Paseo Colon", I tell you that my wife and I used to walk 3 to 4 times a week along the beach, but due to a health problem that my wife presented in her knee, two years ago we stopped doing it, but today I wanted to walk along the beach with my wife, to resume those walks in front of the beautiful landscape of the Bay of Pozuelos in Puerto la Cruz, so this morning I began to walk with my wife along the beach, my wife was in charge of taking some pictures of this pleasant walk.
I confess that both my wife and I felt very good about this walk. The fresh air, the morning breeze, and the sound of the ocean waves filled us with energy. Honestly, we felt good and very relaxed. So, from now on, we will start walking again along this beautiful beach, because walking in the morning is very beneficial for your health, and even more so when we walk along the beach.
I also tell you that we were able to observe many people walking along the beach and others exercising. There was even a group of people exercising with dance therapy. The truth is that the music was so contagious that even I started doing some arm exercises to the beat of the music.
# Benefits of Walking on the Beach
Well, friends, as we all know, walking is very beneficial for our health, as it helps us maintain a healthy heart and reduce the risk of heart disease. Walking is the most natural form of exercise for human beings, requiring no training. All we need is the desire to do it. However, if we're not used to walking long distances, it's best to start slowly, both in terms of distance and time spent walking. In other words, walking is an exercise that's perfectly adaptable to each person, allowing everyone to set their own pace, according to their physical condition.
## Next, I will mention the benefits of walking on the beach, according to an article published in [cuidateplus](https://cuidateplus.marca.com/ejercicio-fisico/2024/07/02/beneficios-caminar-playa-musculatura-mente-181737.html)
- Walking strengthens muscles: Walking on the beach requires more effort from our legs and arms, which helps strengthen the muscles of the foot and ankle.
- Proprioception: "The instability that occurs when walking on the sand creates an environment conducive to re-educating and stimulating neuromuscular activity in the lower extremities."
- Burns calories: Some people believe that walking doesn't help you lose weight, but walking on the sand requires more effort, which implies greater energy expenditure. This calorie burn can lead to weight loss.
#### Well my friends, I have already made my exercise schedule by walking on the beach and along the boulevard, and of course, my wife will accompany me on these tours, I will start walking 3 times a week, it will be on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, but on Wednesdays I will try to do a special walk, trying to visit different beaches in the city, with the idea of making a different publication in this community, with this I say goodbye and remember that walking is healthy, I am 69 years old and despite this age, I want to walk along the beaches, even if it is little by little, hahaha ... Greetings, God bless you, until next Wednesday
