This item from the NY Times is one clue to the rising obesity and diabetes problem. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/19/the-pedometer-test-americans-take-fewer-steps/?emc=eta1
Adding steps can be as easy as parking at the far end of the parking lot. You'll get some extra steps and save a few dings in your car or truck door. It sad to see parents drive their kids a half a block to meet the school bus. Our legs are our best means to fitness. Walking is the easiest exercise there is. It can also be one of the most pleasurable. Even really out of shape people can start with a few steps. Your body will amaze you with how fast you'll be able to increase your distance.
Find a partner and make it part of your daily routine. You'll be glad you did. It might just the step to get you started on a healthier lifestyle.
I often wonder what people who cannot walk think of people who can walk but don't.
