Walking

By Nancy J. Blair, October 1, 2009 — Walking is my favorite form of exercise. I started walking at first to deal with my depression.

There are a lot of exercises I do that stretch and tone, but walking is the best for me. There are
several places I like to walk, but beside the waters is the best thing for stress and nerves.

I love the city of Philadelphia because there are so many different historic places and parks and
so many different sections like Old City, Center City, South Philly, and so forth. Each has its
own type of people and customs. You never get bored because there is such variety. I was brought up in a small town, so moving to a big city was very new and exciting for me in
the latter stage of my life.

I have trouble with my knees and my feet, but I always try to take good care of them so I will be
able to continue walking for the rest of my life.
