Join The Millions Of Americans Walking To Get Fit

Of all the various forms of exercise available in America, apparently walking is the most popular form of exercise, with over 70 million Americans walking for exercise.

Walking is an easy exercise to learn. Most of us have mastered walking by our 2nd birthday.

Walking on a flat terrain at about 3 miles per hour, a 100 lb. person will burn 15 grams of carbohydrates, a 150 lb. person will burn 21 grams, a 200 pounder 27 grams per hour.

If you are diabetic, walking is a strong component in controlling diabetes and blood glucose levels.

Walking is one of the least boring, least strainful exercises. It really requires no equipment except for a good pair of walking or hiking shoes.

You can indulge in your walking exercise no matter where you are.

If you are an oldster you are not too old to start in with a walking program. Just make yourself go on walk 3 or 4 times a week for 20 to 30 minutes.

If you live near a mall, pretty much every mall in America has a Mall Walking Program. Some malls let the walkers into the mall early, before the shoppers, so you can do your walking unimpeded by the shoppers.

Many of the malls even have Mall Walking Clubs.

Mall Walking is a great option for old folks who live in dread fear of getting mugged, a fear which makes the idea of going walking in a park a bit scary.

So, get out there and do some walking. You will be glad you did.
