Those who know me in real life equate me with walking. Yes, brisk walking is a passion with me. And, I get asked questions about my fitness every single day. If you want to know the secret behind my youthful looks and fitness :), read my gyaan about one of the easiest fitness regimes that you can embark upon in your quest for fitness and health on the lovely Corinne’s blog here:

She is gentle and possesses a warm and beautiful heart and has a blog that is just like her — soothing and motivational. If you haven’t so far, you must add Everyday Gyaan to your blog list.

    I agree that walking is great. Especially as a wildlife filmmaker, one needs to trek with lot of equipment. After reading your post, feel like walking even more. 🙂

    I remember when I did training for the London Marathon, I did a lot of research and included a lot of walking in my training. Only a bit less beneficial fitness wise, but massive more beneficial when it comes to less injuries!Cheers,Gordon

    Rachna,Navigated and read that post. Walking is one of the easiest and best exercises. And keeping a dog ensures that one can not help but walk. I prefer to walk to market or any place which is upto a kilometer or so. That gives me enough work out every day. Take care

    If I didn’t take her for a walk my dog would be very disappointed and I’d feel very guilty. All those smells at poles, trees and on grass outside people’s homes tell her the most exciting stories which we humans wouldn’t understand. Hope your post inspires me to start walking a bit faster though.

    Rachna, walking is so incredibly calming to me as well, the early morning works, give my day a kick start. But then sometimes I do get lazy since my office starts at 8.30 😦
