Omega (for W)

Walking. Simple, yet effective. And a great way to multitask. Walking, requires little brain power, you just try not to walk into things like oncoming traffic, and don't trip. And watch out for that goose poop! Yuck! But here are a few of the many advantages and some TIPS for walking:

• Exercise - the most obvious. Get up offa that thing! (courtesy James Brown)
• Reduces Stress - gives you time to think and sort things out... or not think
• Energizes - you just feel better after a good walk, ready to take on the next big thing, or be the next big thing!
• Fresh air - being outside on a nice day just puts a smile on my face
• Listen - to a book, music, or nature
• Take the dog - if you have one, they need exercise too, and they are great walking partners.
• Take a friend - the walk goes by so fast when you're gabbing with a friend
• Treadmill - if you can't go outside, a treadmill has the same benefits, except the outside stuff. but on a treadmill, you can read or blog or catch up on a show
