Margaret, OT re: Barron's article on health. there are 6 posts on health and the following is 3 of 6. Please see other posts.. Message 4753288 What is the most popular, effective exercise of all? Walking. Seventeen million Americans now get their exercise this way, almost double the number of joggers. Users of strength-training machines, including weights, number 11.5 million. How fast should you walk? Mark Fenton, author of The 90-Day Fitness Walking Program (Perigree, $10) notes that you can achieve good fitness at 120-130 steps a minute, and an excellent cardiovascular workout at 140-150 steps. That's about five miles an hour. Experts recommend at least 30 minutes a day of moderate exercise, such as a brisk walk. But only 20% of Americans manage to do even that. After all, it's a lot easier to write out a check for a brand new SlamMan and then let it collect cobwebs. William G. Flanagan is a senior editor at Microsoft's Moneyinsider.com.
