Where can I exercise wherever I am?
Walking is the least expensive form of physical activity, and you can do it anywhere! You don't need expensive equipment or special training — just a good pair of walking shoes. Walking is also a great two-in-one: physical activity and transportation. Consider how great it is to be able to get exercise in while you're at work, in your office or outdoors. You can walk on the go getting to an appointment, meeting, training, lunch, an event or the gym. All of that walking makes a difference to your health!
