I get in a few miles of walking every day, it's all done outdoors, and many times with my husband and my dog. Walking has many benefits, and is an 'easy on the joints' exercise which requires no equipment. Therefore, it's perfect for older folks.

Walking with a good friend is one of my favorite activities to do. It's easy to forget about our lymph system and how critically dependent it is on simple movement. Walking gets your lymph to move much more than normal everyday activities.

When I was immobile after my burn, after a while, I started to get cramps in my groin area. It was very strange but I realized it was because I hadn't walked and moved my lymph in so long. Never underestimate the health advantages of walking. I may just go for a walk tonight.

I'm sorry that you experienced such a severe burn Mommysunshine. If your feet will allow a walk tonight, I hope it's very enjoyable.

And check out the lovely super-moon tonight. Largest of 2013. I use a rebounder mostly, because the temps are in the upper 90s already. Supposed to be 100F this weekend. Otherwise, very early morning. Very early.

I walked for 50 minutes at the track today. According to Dr Weil, walking is the one exercise (and fast walking, not strolling) that normalizes your system because that is what we were designed to do.

We've read a gazillion conflicting studies on various health topics but I' have to say: I've never read one bad article on walking....all good and real benefits.

Same here Mommysunshine! Whether fast or slow, indoors or out, walking seem to always be beneficial for young and old.

Yup, I think I'll hit the treadmill now that we're talking about it. It sounds so good. (how funny it's not food we're talking about making me hungry....we're talking about exercise making me want to do that - I'm so impressionable, I guess)
