Go for a walk

Are you among the 25% of adults who have no physical activity in their free time? Consider going for a walk! It's easy and there are so many ways to walk. If you live somewhere with year-round warm weather, take a walk outside. If it's cold outside, you still have lots of options. Some people like to go to the mall and walk indoors, window shopping as they go. Others like to go to a health club and walk on a treadmill. Some like to measure miles or steps by wearing a pedometer or doing laps on the track of a local high school.

You can even walk in the privacy of your own home with a walking DVD. My favorites are any of the walking DVDs by Leslie Sansone. You can walk for 1, 2, 3 or 4 miles with Leslie's DVDs. I've done mine so many times that I have the dialogue memorized, so I mute it and play praise music while I walk. As Leslie says, "Our bodies were made to move." So do something really good for your health - go for a walk!
