One of the best plans for starting a life-long exercise regime is the 10,000 steps program. After wearing a pedometer myself for a month or so, the distance this represents is around five miles, just as the 10k folks say. I'm 5'7'', and I not a particularly fast walker, so this takes me about one hour and ten minutes. If I step it up, and swing my arms (like I should) that comes down to an hour flat.
The metaphor of starting with a few steps is appropriate for the first post on this blog. Amy and I plan to write about the ways in which we try to live active, healthy and environmentally smart lives. We plan to share our discoveries about how to prevent long term illness, and how to live well by planning for our older years, today.
Each journey commences somewhere, and this is ours.
