'Take a
One of the best forms of physical
exercise ever invented is right under
our noses. Actually, closer to the
ground, to be more specific. It's walk-
ing. Walking can be done anywhere,
anytime, by almost anyone and it
costs nothing, except the effort to get
from here to there.
Walking is the most popular form
of exercise in Ontario, and not
because we have to do it. A 1986 study
conducted by the Sports and Fitness
Branch of the Ontario Ministry of
Tourism and Recreation indicates
over ,one-quarter of Ontario's 6.5
million adult population engage in
walking as a physical fitness activi-
ty -- roughly 1.7 million people.
Experts contend walking re-
juvenates both body and spirit, firm-
ing muscles, loosening limbs and
releasing physical and emotional
tension.
But the benefits depend on the way
we walk. According to Dr. Roy

he hard Director of the
Shephard, school 01
Physical and Health Education at the
'University of Toronto, many people
walk in too leisurely a fashion to help
their cardio -vascular systems -
As a fitness activity, the idea is to
burn up as many calories as possible
during your walk, Dr. Shephard says.
"But the leisurely walk takes too few
calories to get from point A to point
B."
What about the commonly -held
belief that if you jog, you'll get more
exercise than if you waik? Not so,
says Dr. Shephard, an active walker
himself. "I actually pass people who
are jogging. They're expending less
energy." •
Besides, he adds, jogging puts tri-
ple the stress,on the knees:
Most people, walk at a pace which
increases the heart rate to only 100 to
110 beats per minute. For walking to
be effective, "140 to 150 would be a
reasonable rate for the average per-
son," Dr. Shephard says.
"But don't rush into things!" ad-
vises Art Salmon, Manager of the
Fitness Section of Sports and Fitness
Ontario. "Start slowly. Don't expect
to goopt and walk five miles the first
day:"
Before beginning a walking pro-
gram, it's best to check with your
family physician.
The workplace, where most of us
spend most of our time, has great
potential as an environment for walk-
ing fitness.
Even if you work in a confined of-
fice, you can engage in workday walk-
ing. It's a good idea to plan for it even
before stepping out the front door of
your home.
Walking can be a convenient five
minutes of exercise every morning
and evening. Over five business days,
that's an extra 50 minutes of exercise
per week. All one has to do is leave
for work five minutes earlier.

For example, walking a few extra

Statistics from Sports and'Fitness
Ontario indicate that women walk
more than men. "Ten percent more
women walk more than men," Mr.
Salmon says. The same study show-
ed 27 percent of the province's adult
female population walked as a form
of physical fitness, compared to 17
'percent of the male population.
Experts offer one reason for the gap
-- the family car. In one -car families,
especially in large and urban areas,
the man of the house often has first
call on the automobile, for work and
leisure travel.
Women are more likely to use other
forms of transportation -- usually
public transit, which means a two or
three -block trek to and from the bus
or subway stop.
Once at the office, men and women
can benefit equally by taking advan-
tage of walking opportunities. One
way is to take the stairs, which offers
more than one life saving benefit.
Besides improving your physical con-
ditoin, you'll also become familiar
with the fire escape route.
If "stair -climbing" isn't your style,
consider a brisk lunchtime walk
before eating. Not only will you burn
up calories, you'll likely end up eating
less. The operative word in this exer-
cise is "brisk".
Choice of footwear is probably the
single -most important factor in
advice
preparing for a walking program.
"You don't need fancy running
shoes," Dr. Shepard says.
The key is to wear comfortable,
lightweight shoes which allow for
flexibility. Arch support and cushion-
ing should be adequate for the bottom
of the feet. One-fourth to one-half inch
of space between the longest toe and
tip of the shoe allows the feet room to
expand while walking. Shoes made of
canvas, nylon mesh, even soft
leather, allow the feet to "breathe"
during exercise.
Clothing is also important. In sum-
mer, a hat or visor offers protection
from the sun's rays and light-
coloured, loose -fitting clothes are
best. In winter, a wool cap, gloves and
insulated insoles are recommended.
Proper warm-up and cool -down
procedures should be followed. Walk
slowly for five minutes at the start,
gradually building up speed. This
allows body temperature, heart and
respiratory rate to rise, thus reduc-
ing the risk of injury. Don't forget to
stretch your lower back, legs and feet
before starting.
When you're just about finished
your walk, gradually slow down. Brief
stretching exercises will pump blood
back up to the rest of the body.
After the walk, examine your feet
for tenderness which might signal the
beginning of a blister. If problems
persist, see your doctor.
By the way, if you're reading this
on the way to work, get off the bus one
stop early and walk!
Informal farm
The Middlesex Rural Network, a
non-profit group of volunteers from
agricultural, education, employment,
health, legal, government and com-
munity and social service agencies is
conducting an informal survey
among farm and rural families to find
out what services are needed, and
who needs them.
Network chairperson Frances
Shamley, Glencoe, explained that the
organization has become concerned
about the number of people facing a
multitude of problems as the changes
in agriculture continue their disrup-
tive impact on rural families and the
small communities whose economies
are tied to the agricultural industry.
The Middlesex Network had com-
piled a comprehensive directory of
theservices available, then realized
most had London phone numbers.
Often the services and support pro-
grams available in urban areas to
help people cope with change are not
extended to rural residents unless
they are able to travel to the closest
city.
The Network will use the survey to
find out what is needed - retraining,
financial advice, daycare,- programs
for seniors - then act as liaison with
the agencies to help communities
design more relevant programs.
"We want to find out what would
make life easier for farm and rural
families, and try to get those who
need help together with those who can
help", Shamley said.
The survey will be conducted on a
random basis unless people request
that their family be included in the
survey
survey. All information will be kept
confidential.
Volunteers are needed to help with
the distribution of the survey collating
the information, and acting as con-
tacts within each community to pass
on information about available ser-
vices and programs.
The survey will begin on July 23,
and copies of the questionnaire will be
available in township and municipal
offices throughout Middlesex, and at
the Exeter municipal office.
Those interested in taking part may
contact Frances Shamley at Box 709,
Glencoe, NOL IMO, or at her office at
434-0151 or at home at 287-2618.
