Why I Love Walking for Exercise Again

I’ve had episodes of exercise devotion over the years. In the early 90s I tackled Cindy Crawford videos, then Step Aerobics, roller blading, and the Buns of Steel series. Decades later, after my third baby, I got hooked on Pilates. And according to Google, the most popular post on my personal blog is about the year after baby #4 when I became an accidental evangelist for Barre classes.

Despite how it sounds, I’m not an exercise fanatic . . .

READ “The Summer I Rediscovered the Virtues of a Walk” AT BRAIN, CHILD MAGAZINE about why I took a break from the gym and learned to love walking for exercise again. I love walking with friends, with my husband, with my kids, or alone! North Shore Chicago folks will also appreciate the nod to The Green Bay Trail and Sheridan Road.
