Over the years I’ve come to the conclusion that a brisk daily walk of 2 to 3 miles is a very good form of exercise. The muscles in the legs are some of the largest in the body and exercising them helps in circulation. Not only does this help to distribute the nutrition but it also helps in the collection of waste.

Though I am not a doctor, I’ve confirmed my thoughts with a number of MDs. I only wish I found this out many years earlier. I believe I would have never reached 280 lbs. More importantly, I likely would have never had some of my other heath probems, such as diabetes.

However, walking 3 miles a day does require some time. At 4 miles an hour, we are talking 45 minutes. Some people like to listen to music or an audio book. I guess a person could, oddly use the time for writing; or more accurately, dictate books, papers or maybe reports. I know of folks that talk almost 500 words a minute. After a month or two, an author could almost dictate “War and Peace. ” Well, maybe 1/2 of it.

On the other hand, you just might use it for prayer time. It might give a new meaning to walking with God. Just maybe God will like it too. I can’t see it hurting anything. By the way, you just might learn to enjoy your time with God.

On the other hand, some just might question your sanity, especially should you explain.

As an aside, might I suggest you non believers try this, that is if you’re willing to chance it.
