Many of you may be walking with weights. You do this in order to kill two birds with one stone, so that you do not have to take more time out of your busy life to lift weights. You probably feel a "burn," and you feel like you are exercising your body correctly. In my opinion, you may only be hurting yourself.
That "burn" you sense may not be that "good workout" feel. In fact, you are probably just straining your ligaments and tendons. By doing this, you may eventually have joint problems. Another common side effect is high blood

Crutch Walking
August 15th, 2011 by Bea | Walking
Even if you have been reduced to a set of crutches, you can still get some walking in; however, if you are on crutches, it is important to remember that you are on them for a reason. You should not overwork yourself and overuse or favor another the part of the body in order to compensate for weakness in the injured part. This could only lead to more injuries.
When on crutches, it is important to know how to use them. If you know how to use crutches correctly, then I am sure you know what I mean when I

Singing in the Rain

Look at the title of this article. Sratch the world singing. Replace it with walking. Great.
Ladies and gentlemen. I have an annoucement to make. You are not the Wicked Witch of the West; you are not going to melt if rain falls on your head. In fact, your body is often more drip-dry than an umbrella.
Rain should not keep you from walking if you are prepared. True, walking becomes a little more expensive when it's raining out because of the equipment, but overall, you'll thank yourself for staying in condition even though it is raining.

Perhaps one of the most annoying things about beach vacations is getting a sunburn on the first day and walking around like a penguin saying “Ow. Ow. Ow.” the whole time. However, I think that sore feet can be an even bigger vacation bummer. There are many causes behind feet pain and walking.
Prevalent in many of the problems associated with pain and exercising is your choice of shoe. One day of walking on shoes not designed for a full day of walking on whatever terrain you are on, can ruin your feet and prevent you from going 100% on

My Feet Are Numb
May 26th, 2011 by Bea | Summer Activities, Walking
When it comes to exploring new cities, I would be someone you may not want to travel with. I want to see everything, so stopping to sit makes me antsy. Though I don't mind sitting down after a hike or to take in the scenery, stopping every hour and sitting for 20+ minutes will not make me a happy camper.
Luckily, most of the people I have traveled with are also up for racing around and seeing as much as there is to see. I guess that's what happens when you only give yourself four days to cover Amsterdam, Rotterdam,
