【推荐1】Many people run for exercise. But what will you do if you are not a “born” runner or jogger (慢跑者) ? You may still want a kind of exercise that’s inexpensive and easy to do. Why not try walking?

Walking requires no special equipment (装备) . It is a kind of exercise that almost any normal, healthy person can do. Walking is good for your health, and it will just take longer than jogging or running. Jogging and running make your heart work harder than walking.

If you want to get your exercise by walking, you need to follow some rules. First, you need to have your own walking plan. After all, runners and joggers set goals for themselves. Walkers need goals, too. You also need to set a course to walk. Start by walking about 15 — 30 minutes a day. Increase your time and distance slowly.
