Walking for Exercise? Printable Bible Verses for Counting Laps

Walking Cards for Counting Laps - Photo by George Hatton

Walking is one of the simplest and most sustainable types of exercise around. With very few necessary supplies like a comfortable pair of walking shoes, clothes appropriate for the weather, and some water, walking can be quite economical as well. Make sure to check with your healthcare provider before starting or changing any fitness program to ensure that it is appropriate for your individual needs.

Those who walk on a treadmill can see exactly how far they have walked; however, people walking on a track can easily lose track of how many laps they have walked. I tend to start on the inside or outside lane and move in or out a lane each time to help me keep count, but I also enjoy doing a little multitasking to keep the brain cells exercising with those body muscles.

Lap counting cards are very simple to use, and those with messages may help decrease boredom as well. These lap counting cards include twelve KJV Bible verses. If you are using one card/lap, that equals three miles on a standard-sized track in which four laps make up one mile. Many non-standard sized tracks will post the number of laps that equal a mile somewhere near a starting lane.
