Do you despise running as much as I do? But do you still envy those people who religiously jog in the parks? Well, I think I've got great news for you!
There truly IS a great way not to do what you hate (running) and get the results you love (hot bod and I-am-so-fit vibe)! This secret to getting fit is... walking!!!
It is said that every person has two doctors with him... his right leg & his left leg. A vigorous 5 mile walk can do more good for an unhappy but otherwise healthy man than any medicine or psychology. it is the easiest exercise for most individuals, one that can done without equipment except good shoes, in most terrains & weather & also in very old age.

Oh, and one more reason to love walking - if you are also 5.6 and you wear high heels every single day, you will absolutely love those 30 minutes of walking! Because that's the time when you can finally put sneakers on and walk the streets of your city without killing your toes!
I hope you will enjoy this amazing Walking Workout I've found online and have been following for months now - it was composed by a notorious fitness expert Ray Browning, and it's by far one of the greatest workout routines out there!
