First it Was the Heat, Now it’s the Cold

The weather finally cools down after the summer and the weather is perfect to exercise. No longer can the high temperatures be used as an excuse for not walking or exercising, until it gets cold! Though there are many areas that are enjoying comfortable temperatures, there are many parts of the country where winter has arrived. If you can gather up some motivation and dedication to continue your exercise program, you will find it rewarding to continue through the cold months.

Bees and Knees

A few generations ago, the phrase “the bee’s knees” was common. It meant the height of excellence. If you ever had a knee injury, knee strain, or knee pain you know you do not feel like you are at the height of excellence. Since most tasks and activities involving some walking, you probably felt as high as a bee’s knee, which is pretty low.

Summer Safety

Walking is an exercise that almost everyone can do. In traditional walking shoes or in the Stepgym shoe, walking has many healthy benefits. As summer begins, it is important to review summer safety tips when walking outdoors or doing any exercising outdoors.

There is less physical exertion used during walking than with jogging, hiking, and other outdoor activities that might need to be limited when the temperatures rise.
