He's five and he lives throughout my house especially the "frig." The one thing I've learned, is to stay out of his way when he's eating blueberries. You could lose a finger! Don't walk, run away! Now that's exercise. When you're five you don't think about wrinkles and looking younger but the rest of us do.  Two great foods to eat to help with aging and looking younger are blueberries and plums. Check it out over at AOL Health - "What To Eat To Beat Disease and Look Younger." MikeZ - "counting my fingers and toes"

Can you Hulu for weight loss? No - it's more TV. Check it at Hulu.com   But you can lose weight with an old fashion "hula hoop" or the new and improved weighted "hula hoop". MikeZ - "digging through the garage for my old hula hoop"

Walking. Simple. Strap on your shoes, open the front door and walk out. You've taken the hardest and most important step. Starting. Now please, let me tell you, I don't believe in diets or dieting (more about this subject later) but this is a good article in the link above. I started ZumeWalk to communicate, create a fitness community, a group of people who like to walk and sort of a support group for those starting or re-starting to exercise. This is hopefully a resource and a place where we can encourage and get encouraged by participating while helping others to start. Start a journey...

The house is empty, it's late. Just me and my computer.  My family is away. Zumed away for a weekend with family on Long Island. I don't know about you but I like to hear the noise of life. Better than a pulse for checking your well being. Most of the time when my family leaves, I feel a little alone not lonely. But this time it got me thinking about ZumeWalk, walking and the solitude of walking. Walking alone is fine, great most of the time. And I don't mind taking off on my own for a long walk to drain the stress. But deep down, secretly, I like to see people while working out - walking....

Zume? ZumeWalk? Never heard of it. Is it a real word? And what the hell does it mean anyway? OK. Let me tell you a little about how I came up with the word ZumeWalk. The word, Zume, is more about a feeling than it is about a literal word. It's the feeling you get when you complete a great walk or better yet a month of walks. You're "zooming". A good example is how you feel zooming in your car with the sun roof open or the top down on a beautiful sunny Friday. The music is blasting a favorite song and you're singing at the top of your lungs. And you don't care what the world thinks. That's...

I've included my Nike+ avatar on my home page to keep you posted on my walks. I know it says runs but I use the Nike+ site for tracking all of my walks. It works great! And the people at Nike have been very supportive of using the system for walking. And this leads to one of the most important motivation tools. Tracking and goal setting. At first, I used a simple calendar and marked 'X' for days walked and 'O' for missed days. This method worked great for the first ten years but lacked the elegance and features of a technological solution like Nike+ When I restarted my walking...
