Walking & Hiking<\/h4>\n

One of the best exercises in the world is walking. Although you might consider
\n‘walking’ as moving from the couch to the fridge, the individuals who write
\nthe blogs listed below are a bit more ambitious. Some merely count their steps
\neach day, while others hike obscure trails.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cutter’s Blog<\/a>: Cutter loves bicycling,
    \nbut he’s also into hiking, walking, backpacking, and kyaking. This blog focuses
    \non hiking destinations in southeastern U.S., including the “South Beyond
    \n6000,” or the 40 peaks in the Southern Appalachians that rise 6000 feet
    \nor more above sea level.<\/li>\n
  2. Discover Walking<\/a>: This blogger
    \nhas an affinity for walking, and shares that enthusiasm with readers through
    \ntools for walking, paths, and methods that are easy and enticing enough to
    \nmake the unwilling walker to want to walk.<\/li>\n
  3. Fat Man Walking<\/a>: Steve Vaught
    \nchronicles his, beginning with his fateful decision to walk across America
    \nto lose weight and regain control of his life. Although he lost weight, was
    \npart of a documentary and a book deal, he faced divorce and a few other trials.
    \nSteve also mentions several other people in his latest entry who have faced
    \nweight-loss issues and how they conquered them. Although the ‘journal’ is
    \nsporadic lately, the site is a great tool for inspiration.<\/li>\n
  4. Just a Thought<\/a>: Margie Hunter
    \nis 51-years-old with three kids and a husband who writes a sports column.
    \nWhile she chronicles much of her life through her blog, her focus is on walking
    \nand health. Some of her entries are simple, with interesting stats about odd
    \nfacts, but she always provides stats about her weight, calories burned, steps
    \nwalked, and the weather.<\/li>\n
  5. Modern Hiker<\/a>: Casey,
    \nthis blog’s author, is “60% Geek, 40% Granola.” Located in southern
    \nCalifornia, Casey provides information about the area’s walking and hiking
    \nareas, but he also is interested in the latest walking and hiking tools (that’s
    \nthe ‘geek’ part). He writes about gadgets for a local TV show, and he also
    \nprovides great photos for the armchair hiker.<\/li>\n
  6. Nordic Walking USA<\/a>:
    \nNordic Walking is low-impact fitness walking using specially designed, lightweight
    \npoles. The poles relieve stress on the lower body, which creates less pressure
    \non ankles, hips and knees. This blog introduces Nordic walking and offers
    \nadvice, information, and tools for this activity.<\/li>\n
  7. Two-Heel Drive<\/a>: Tom Mangan
    \nfills his blog with personal interests as well as information about his walks
    \nand hikes. Although he’s located in northern California, his interests go
    \nwell beyond that area. Great link resource for other walking and hiking enthusiasts.
    \nLike Casey in the “Modern Hiker” above, Tom is a writer; so, his
    \nentries are very interesting.<\/li>\n
  8. Walking Blog<\/a>:<\/li>\n
  9. Walking Notes<\/a>: Bryan White lives
    \nin Melbourne, Australia, and he writes about walking as a form of exercise
    \nand as a way of getting from A to B. Bryan logs his weight, daily steps, and
    \nprovides inspiration through his blog entries.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Speaking of which, I jogged a full mile again Tuesday morning and plan to repeat on Wednesday. Not a big deal to folks of normal fitness levels, but I could never run a mile at any time in my life until the past few months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
