a walking magazine?

What's wrong with us? Do we need advice for everything? Can't we do anything on our own? Like magazines meant to give tips on walking. I don't need too much advice on walking. I think I learned the basics at about 9 months, and by the time I was four or five, I was an expert. And I don't think anyone needs a magazine published monthly to provide a continuing education of such a basic science. It's fairly obvious that if you want to get in shape, walking, rather than driving, places is a great way to do it.

I think the farther and the faster you walk, the more frequently you walk and the more hills you climb, then the better shape you'll be in. And buying a well-manufactured pair of sneakers is probably a good idea, too. So...yeah, that's about it. What more can you put in a magazine?

Well, if you want more tips, you can start sending me $34.50 for your subscription, this month I'll send you a letter reminding you to get off your butt and walk to the store. In next month's issue, I'll encourage you to walk to work or maybe even the dry cleaners or the library. And in the coming months I'll provide you with even more exciting destinations, like walking to a lake, or the park. Perhaps I'll even reveal some walking secrets--like leaning forward when you're climbing steep hills.
