I Just Go Walking, After Midnight...

    by Joanie


    ...out in the moonlight..... la, la, la la la la...

    Ahhhhh...Patsy Cline. She had the right idea. Walking is a great way to a healthy heart.

    As we are celebrating the American Heart Associations Go Red for Women's heart health here in The Lair I thought I'd talk about some walking benefits. I'm not going into great detail, because you can find out LOADS of information through our link to the AHA below. But some highlights.

    Walking:

    *Maintains a healthy weight *Improves blood pressue and lowers cholesterol
    *Reduces/manages Type II Diabetes *Decreases risk for a heart attack and stroke
    *Decreases stress and prevents
    depression

    We already know that walking is important for our health. And there is a pleathora of information out there about the proper shoes. But what about...socks?

    Socks are a very individualized preference. There are practical white cotton socks, moisture wicking socks, athletic socks, Socks the cat. :-D But there are lots of fun socks out there that really reflect a persons personality. For instance, which Banditas or resident of The Lair do you believe own these socks?
























    Socks make the woman! So slip your favorite pair on, tie up those shoes and let's go walking!


    Now what about you? What do your socks say about the woman you are? What would you have on your socks?


    One lucky reader will win a special Valentine package of fun socks from Cricket and Grayson.

    The comment link is below the healthy heart tip for today and the AHA BetterU information.

    **Before embarking on any exercise program, check with your doctor.

    Go Red Tip for February 13: Don't forget to love Fido, too! Give your pet a Valentine and remember to walk or exercise them daily-getting active will benefit your health and your bond with your pets.
