Instead of just a calorie rating, I considered suggesting how many calories each walk would burn. The problem is that calories burned will vary with each individual. If you are interested in a personal estimation of calories burned (depending on activity, weight and time), click here.

Ok, I know this is cheating because this walk is way too far for an easy commute from PDX. But after recently returning from a trip here, we discovered that the trail was voted one of the top ten walks in the U.S. by walkers in the American Volkssport Association. And so I cheat!

Walking-the exercise that almost anyone can do. It requires no special equipment. You can do it alone. It is so simple you learned how as a child. Is it too simple for you? Add more to your walking at http://walking.about.com/. There you will find product suggestions and reviews, ways to make walking a social event, and other articles and resources. Just promise me you won't read all day.

By now, everyone knows that inactivity and extra pounds are dangerous to health. But what else? Money. Both individual and community resources get eaten up (so to speak) by obesity. Someone has taken the time to calculate the community costs and, while you may not need to know that much, Active Living Leadership gives some enlightening and, in some cases, sad facts and figures.
