Walking and running are our most basic forms of transportation and play. Children run and walk for play but lose this playfulness. Adults trying to regain their youthful health and fitness may rediscover walking or running. The most successful are those who also rediscover their childhood sense of play.
Excellent forms of aerobic exercise, walking and running greatly enhance fitness, overall health, and weight loss programs. They require no special skill or equipment and can be done anywhere, anytime, alone, or with a group.
Whether you are a beginning fitness walker, experienced hiker, beginning runner, or veteran runner who may complete road races ranging from 5K to marathons or ultramarathons come on in.
