The Best Exercise

Simply put, there's no best exercise for weight loss, at least not one that I can tell you. The best exercise is the one you'll do! However, a pretty good case can be made for walking. It's available just by going out your front door (and those of you who follow Walk Away The Pounds might say the living room), all you need are comfortable shoes, and you're ready to go. It is a low impact activity, putting just 1 1/2 times your body weight on your feet vs. the 3 times that running inflicts. You can walk throughout your life. I know a man who's over 90, has been living with diabetes for over 50 years, and still walks more than 3 miles a day. He still has his sight, his mind is sharp and I think he's a pretty good case for walking. Of course, if you're younger, I have another old friend who's only about 73?; he's finished the big area fall marathon each of the last several years walking in a bit under 6 hours. Keep working towards your goal, you'll get there!
