This is one of the best articles I’ve  has read about walking, walking for fitness and starting a program of walking. The one thing I’ve learned from walking for almost 15 years with a two year stoppage and then restarting for the last two years and 2400 miles. Here’s the secret to weight loss and getting fit with walking, start that’s right start. Strap on your shoes, open the door and take that first step. Start small and build a program that you stick with and one that includes walking 4-6 times per week by building toward a goal of walking 1 hour per day, six days of a week.

Good luck I know you can do it, just start today and turn your life around with a life long program of fitness which includes the best form of exercise – walking.
