Comments on walking: Physical exercise (WALKING) helps us lose weight, increases our physical strength, and reduces stress. WALKING increases the blood flow to the brain, bringing oxygen and nutrients and taking away waste products. Brisk WALKING for 30 minutes a day builds brain health.

"I’ve been enjoying catching up with friends and family on the phone, pacing around the house for extra steps! It's a Win, Win!” Christine Appleman, Powder River Pals

“Using the elliptical and working on my feet all day,” Olivia Hills, The Purrfect Moovers
