Staying Power

Walking has the lowest drop-out rate of any physical activity, say researchers at the American Heart Association. Why is walking so easy to stick to? You can do it year-round, indoors, or outdoors. It’s low impact, which makes it safer on your back and joints. It’s free, and the only special equipment required is a good pair of walking shoes.
