I know some people need a car, but a lot of people only think they do. The rise in obesity is not just about poor diet, it is directly in line with the rise in car ownership. Motorists have a lot in common with disabled people in wheelchairs, they both get about without the use of their legs. In fact, a car is just a wheelchair with an engine. I passed my driving test many years ago, but I have lived a full and enjoyable life without ever owning a car. Walking really makes me feel alive. Dump the car!

I am glad that you brought walking up because I love walking. In fact where I live they call me "The Walker" because that was the main exercise I used to lose 40 kilos in 1 year (I have 3 kids but I looked like I'd had 3 + more kids...lol) Anyway walking gives me time to think, relax, it makes me happier when I walk, plus on top of that I haven't needed to see a doctor in a year and a half seeing I haven't gotten sick, I chuck on my mp3 player,crank it up and away I go. I usually throw running up and down 5 flights of stairs every second day but it really has changed my life regards Kylee Celik. Dear Rusty my name is Kylee and I live in Victoria, Australia.

About walking: I live(literally)right on the beach, and I walk there near every day(at least in the Summer !;-)playing with my Doggie. It‘s surely at least a half an hour on average per day total, and while I have no scientific back-up for this I should say that my health is excellent, at least that‘s what it feels like.

It amazes me how many will rather take the bus rather than the short walk (other FOB's can be a much longer walk of several miles) to the chow hall, the PX, or the laundry facility even when it has cooled down. I simply refuse to do so & will walk everywhere instead of taking the bus. Been here for over 9 months this time have only riden the bus maybe three or 4 times.
