Walking is good. When the days lengthen and the weather gets nicer, it's lots easier to get out there for five minutes or for hours. Can you go out your front door for a reasonably pleasant walk, or is your neighborhood designed for cars and not people? My neighborhood is a little on the hilly side for me, and there are too many no-shoulder thoroughfares and dead-end cul de sacs. But I've found a couple of routes that work even for a short walk.

They say its the best exercise for everything from mental health to preventing osteoporosis. I love seeing pedestrians in Washington County. I dream of walkers controlling the streets instead of cars!
