Jogging is great for people who are built for it.  The problem is that if you’re overweight, your body isn’t designed to do this form of exercise very well.  Also, even though your heart and lungs are strengthened, jogging doesn’t produce the beautiful, sculptured look that lifting weights does.

Most people don’t realize that jogging three miles and walking three miles accomplish almost the same benefits.  By walking, you burn the same amount of calories, don’t have to spend a lot of time warming up, cooling down, and stretching out, don’t need to buy elaborate jogging shoes, and can fit your exercise more easily into a busy schedule.

Instead of a sit-down chat or meeting with your friends or associates, take them for a walk when you have something to discuss.  It adds a relaxed pace to our all-too-hectic lives.

Try walking with a cane or walking sticks.  When I tried one, I was amazed at how much more enjoyable it made walking.  It helps keep your posture straight and tall and isn’t a bad crime deterrent either.  If everyone began walking with walking sticks, we might end crime on the streets and keep in shape at the same time.
