Walking

Walking is a simple form of exercise that just about anyone can do. You can do it alone or in groups; as far or as short a distance as you like; wherever you wish to go. Walking is low-impact and just about anyone of any age can do it. A U.S. survey showed that the highest percent of people who walk regularly for any group was found among men 65 years of age and older (39.4%).Hop Techno: Walking For Exercise and Pleasure
