I just read 3.5% of Americans walk a minimum of 21 minutes daily and those over 60 only 2% do it.

Me too, I actually think it's fun and look forward to it!
I wouldn't be surprised...Obesity and heart disease are a big problem in America.I just read 3.5% of Americans walk a minimum of 21 minutes daily and those over 60 only 2% do it.

I'd say that some are not exercising, not we. Actually I think your statistics are awfully low Fmdog, what is your source?
If you walked with me you’d soon discover that it is, indeed exercise. :yes:Plus, walking for most people is not 'exercise'. That walk needs to be 'brisk', where your heart rate is raised significantly. There aren't many people, seniors or not, who really push themselves to the point where they get a true cardio workout. Walking an hour a day is better than nothing, but running for 30 minutes a day is infinitely better, or walking on a treadmill at a major incline.
I had no idea about this hollydolly. How very unfortunate .I'm not American, but I walk a lot..or should I say I did until then end of last summer when I'd clearly done some damage after years of mountain walking , and now I have big problems with my hip and knees. However I still walk as much as I'm able , and I have physio every week on my legs, and take water aerobic classes for an hour each week at the local indoor pool, so hopefully before long I'll be back to normal...
