Walking Helps, So Does a Plan

It may appear that I am belaboring the point that physical activity benefits fitness, performance and health but I labor under the conclusion that the point cannot be emphasized too much. Physical activity is the aspect of lifestyle that starts the cascade toward health and it is the matrix that holds everything together. Increased physical activity leads to cessation of smoking, better nutrition, better sleep and decreased impact of stress. I cannot possibly emphasize enough the necessity of a plan to motivate and discipline the effort. Don't forget the motivational value of a simple, inexpensive pedometer that gives a reliable representation of steps taken throughout the day. See you out there. I'm the guy with the 12 year old 60 pound husky.
