National Walking Day
Today is National Walking Day. It is sponsored by The American Heart Association to raise awareness of the importance of physical activity to keep your heart healthy. If you have a short commute to work you may want to consider walking, or take 30 minutes out of your lunch hour and go for a walk. Sitting at your desk all day can take a toll on your health, and going for a daily walk can help to keep your heart healthy.

Yes, please click above link & learn.Thanks Seattle `Mike for the reminder....
I think with the high price of gas there is going to be more people walking
4-Sure...*Maybe that's the blessing in disguise ?
I have always walked a lot & still do every night in the warehouse.
One night with a McDonalds walking meter, I had over 10 miles recorded
(I don't know how accurate they are, but I know I still walk a lot every day & every night.) Maybe that's why I can never gain any weight...I can't hold still. LOL
Get Healthy
Statistics show that 1 in 2 men, and 1 in 3 women are at risk for heart disease, and research shows that poor lifestyle is a major contributor.

Walking is a low-impact exercise with numerous health benefits. Here's how to get started.
By Mayo Clinic staff
Walking is a gentle, low-impact exercise that can ease you into a higher level of fitness and health. Walking is a form of exercise accessible to just about everybody. It's safe, simple and doesn't require practice. And the health benefits are many. Here's more about why walking is good for you, and how to get started with a walking program.

- Raise high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol)
- Lower your blood pressure
- Reduce your risk of or manage type 2 diabetes

Hi `Lou, & I hope Mike's thread inspires you to start walking everyday...It's amazing how good it is for you...I've seen the results with the senior citizens, plus the guys at work..
I talked the guys at work to give up there motorized carts & start walking & now no one uses the carts & the guys really have all lost a lot of weight & they claim they feel 100% better since they started walking their shifts...They now also go walking with their wife & kids...It's really amazing. I hope you follow through (I will be asking you now)
Lou, to me it's easier or more fun if you have some of your favorite tunes to listen to as you walk...Starting is the hardest part, but once you get started and see the results, you won't want to stop...Good Luck & I hope that you & others have a program to stay in shape....If you don't do `it, who will ?
It's your life ~> tick-Tick
4-Sure Good Luck

It's Ok with me `if you take the day `off, but I'm not in control...Sounds like you could afford to take a day `off 4-Sure
unless you have lost control & your Commanding Officer says `NO ~> 
I hope that everyone is in control of their own life 4-Sure..
WoW six miles a day is a super good run...I miss running on the beach (It's so much better then the warehouse I work)..
EnJoy your Day Off 4-Sure! + thanks for your service to your country
4-Sure !
