they were even a generation ago. Many are developing cardiovascular
disease risk factors such as overweight, higher blood pressure, higher

Walking. It's inexpensive, easy and convenient. You can
walk throughout your lifetime. You can walk year-round and in most
weather, indoors or outdoors. You don't need special clothing or
equipment. Walking is low impact so risks of injury to bones and
joints are minimal.
