[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I prefer to run to get more bang for my miles, but it’s ridiculous to say that walking isn’t exercise. Of course it is.[/quote] +1 I have vastly improved my personal fitness by making sure I walk at least a mile and a half a day at a brisk pace. I definitely get my heart rate up. My mood is better, I feel less stressed, have more energy, my digestion is improved, my skin looks better, my joints hurt less -- I haven't lost weight, but that's not my goal. Walking is great exercise -- low impact, requires no special equipment besides comfortable shoes, can be done almost anywhere, and is sustainable throughout a person's life. You can do it on a whim -- if I feel an impulse to take a walk, I can put on some sneakers and be out the door in minutes. I can do it on vacation -- brisk walks are completely compatible with sightseeing or catching up with friends or enjoying the beach or the woods. My mom started walking daily when I was a kid, and she still does in her 70s. Her family is prone to all kinds of health crap that she's mostly avoided because she stays active. [/quote]
