Easy Activity: Family Walk!

My whole family and I got to join some of Leslie's Sansone's most popular walk leaders to present a fun, family walk for a great crowd at the WTAE-TV/American Diabetes Association Healthy 4 Life Expo at the David Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh.
It was a great reminder to me, and many people who came up to talk to me after our program, that it's possible to SMILE and still get a fantastic workout--in this case, with your family!
Simple walking is one of the easiest, cheapest ways to work out. In just a few minutes of walking, you can get your blood pumping, raise your heart rate, get the oxygen flowing to your brain, and work all of the major muscle groups. Walking is wonderful for stress relief, too. It helps you to feel better right away.
My friend Leslie Sansone's style of walking makes something already easy, even easier for you...because with her DVD's, you can walk in your home! Don't worry about the weather, don't worry about the neighbor's dog getting in your way. Keep your pj's on if you want, slip on your tennis shoes, pop in a DVD and follow along!
Here's a little bit of our demonstration:

I interviewed Leslie for the chapter on fitness in my new book called Take Care! , which features 101 Ten Minute Tips for How to Care for Yourself While You're Taking Care of Others. One of my ten minute tips is a ten minute walking workout!
