Much of the built environment precludes actually walking anywhere. <BR/><BR/>For instance, many suburban office parks are designed to make it necessary for people to drive to lunch. Many suburban housing developments are designed so that it's just not possible to walk anywhere. Hence the odd phonomenon of mall walkers: people who drive to shopping malls to go walking.TommyWonkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05304960210838414244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11210638.post-36049973567233653872007-04-24T02:06:00.000-04:002007-04-24T02:06:00.000-04:00Good post:<BR/><BR/>The other half is Americans lack of exercise. Recently someone I knew, put a pacer on, doctor's orders, and after the first day, took it back to see if it was broken, because the results were so unbelievable! Nope, they said, it wasn't broken.<BR/><BR/>With a new pacer on the next day the results were the same. From dawn to sleepy time, the results were the same. 1000 paces. <BR/><BR/>If you commute and sit down at work, my guess is that most reader's results would be the same.kavipshttp://kavips.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
