Walk Your Way to Better Health!
Looking for a way to rev up your personal fitness level? The simplest, safest, and least expensive exercise is walking. But how fast should you walk? Research has shown that walking at speeds of 3.5 to 4.5 miles an hour - that's brisk walking, not strolling - produces the best cardiovascular benefits.

(And always remember to check with your doctor before beginning any kind of exercise or diet program. After all, you always want to be as healthy on the inside as you are on the outside!)
