General Tips for Walking:
  • Find a friend to walk with, not only is it safer, but you are more likely to make the effort if you have arranged a walk with a friend.
  • Take your dog for a walk, same benefits as walking with a human companion
  • Wear comfortable shoes that support your feet.
  • Take a bottle of water with you, especially during the summer, and stay hydrated.
  • If you walk at night wear bright reflectors or lights to help drivers see you & always be careful to walk in safe areas and with a friend
