  • It is something that almost everyone can do without learning new skills.
  • it does not require the purchase of expensive equipment.
  • It is easy on your joints.
  • The pace is simple to adjust.
  • It can be done anywhere from shopping malls to the great outdoors.
  • You can get your fresh air and sunshine at the same time if you are walking outside.
  • Walking lends itself to socializing; make exercise fun by including family, friends, and your dog.
  • Invest in a good pair of walking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather.
