If you take part in a fund-raising walk, it is important that you receive some training before you start the event. We hope you can enjoy the experience instead of worrying about your fitness! During the training, you’d better keep the following advice in mind.

Start slowly and then walk longer and faster. If you start too fast, you will hurt yourself in the first few weeks of training and you will need to rest for some time. This will reduce your final fitness. It is not good for your walk.

Eat healthily. Doctors recommend that you should eat vegetables every day and enough carbohydrates (含碳水化合物的食物) such as bread, brown rice, beans and peas.

Drink moderately (适量地). While training, drink a small amount of water each time if you feel thirsty. It’s a mistake that you don’t drink any water in order not to go to the toilet often.

Take a look at your closet (衣柜) to see how many clothes in it you actually need or use. You may buy clothes in a hurry and seldom wear them or never wear them. What do you do with them? Each year, many clothes are thrown away. Why don’t you donate the old clothes to the people in need? But how to do it?

Clean out your closet. This makes it easier to find which clothes you want to give away later on.

Check out shelters (收容所) across the city. Find out their phone numbers and make a few calls to see which one needs clothes.

Take the clothes to your local churches (教堂) or other charity organizations. Don’t just put them on their doorstep. Find a manager to make sure the church wants or needs the clothes.

Hold a “clothing exchange party”. You’ll find that someone else may need them. This kind of party is also fun.
