12—Power Walk—Getting more exercise
I’ve been thinking and talking and writing about how I need to get some exercise. But I haven’t done much about it. So, the other day, after a radio show, I went for a walk. I walked a little faster than normal, so it could be considered a power walk. But I didn’t walk too fast. That way I could enjoy the walk and not feel I was exercising. There were a lot of nice flowers out and the green plants all waved at me as I passed by. Walking is not only a great exercise but it also gives me a chance to go outside. Sometimes I feel I spend all my time indoors. Taking a walk outside helps me get away from everything. I can forget my work , or my problems at least for a while. And I also get a chance to appreciate nature. There weren’t many people out walking, so I pretty much have the path to myself. Back home and when you go for a walk, you other people who are walking. You may say “Hi!” or “Nice day for a wak!” or just simply nod and smile as you pass them. It was a bit onely yesterday, but it was ncie to get out and get the blood plumping. You should try it. I highly recommend it. Who knows? We might even meet.
Talk about it:
　　Do you ever go out for walks?
　　Where do you go for walking?
　　Who do you usually walk with?
　　Do you walk quickly or slowly?
　　Do you ever talk to other people that are walking?
　　What do you say to them?
　　Do you enjoy the scenerey when you walk?
　　Do you walk for exercise or another reason?
　　How long do you usually walk for?
　　How does walking make you feel?
