As a PE Teacher, I love my exercise and swear by it. Run 3 times a week at least and makes me feel good both physically and mentally. That can't be bad surely. An interesting read.

Walking is amazing particularly when it is through nature. It is the 1 exercise I know I will continue to do into old age.

Yes, my doctor also recommended that I walk because of my bad back. Spending all day in front of the computer is harmful apparently!

Wonderful posting!
Walking is one of my most favorite things to do. In fact, I will park a distance from where I need to go and take advantage of walking.

Blessings to you ♡

Very good advice. Everyone should try to walk and combine it with an interest - birdwatching maybe?

Bonjour,

Un petit billet intéressant... J'aime beaucoup marcher. Cela m'oxygène en plus l'esprit. Nous emmagasinons les couleurs et les lumières qui nous entourent... Nous sommes un peu comme une éponge. Pour la créativité c'est excellent.
Je marche régulièrement avec mon dalmatien dans la nature qui est magnifique. J'habite Saint-Tropez dans le sud de la France. J'ai beaucoup de chance. En revanche, j'avoue qu'en ce moment à cause de la canicule, je marche moins et j'attends patiemment la douceur des températures.
Gros bisous

I'm making a point of walking these days, though it's easier to do during summer - I don't have work and, of course, the weather's great. January is tough - lots of jogging in place.

Great article! If you can, everyone should take a walk especially when the weather permits. When I worked, I made a point not to use the elevator and take the stairs when possible and park the car farther away from the building.

I love to walk... so this is good news (and I keep wondering if I should re-hike the Appalachian Trail when I retire?)

I love walking (but also bicycling and kayaking/canoeing). It's one of the things I enjoy when I go to a major city or another country--using public transportation and walking.
