CCHTL - Huge Walkability Scores

Walking is Good for Your Health

Go outside and take a walk!  According to various studies compiled by the British version of the AMA, taking a brisk 30 minute walk 3 or more times a week is good for your heart health and who doesn't want a healthy heart.  The term brisk doesn't mean that you have to speed walk (nobody wants to look like the Dad from Malcom in the Middle), it just means that when you go for a walk you should feel that you are pushing yourself a little bit.  Everybody will have a different pace of walking to accomplish this and that is okay.

Most of us learned how to accomplish this upright movement that places one foot in front of the other and then repeating back when we were about a year old.  We are so accomplished at this form of locomotion that you might consider us masters.  Our problem is not with the physics or coordination involved but is that of motivation to go for a walk.

The Right Place for Your Pace is Country Club Hills and Twin Lakes

Finding the right place to take a walk is really easy around here.  Our neighborhood has over 5 miles of sidewalks and is abutted by a 2 mile circumference raised reservoir on the West and a combination of 5.2 miles (figure eight pattern) when walking around the reservoirs to our East.  

Walking the reservoirs and you will see joggers, trees, other walkers, fishermen, sunrises, sunsets, and lots of water.  Walking the sidewalks and you will run into many finely manicured lawns and wonderful landscapes, friendly neighbors, and many other walkers.

Today would be a great day to get out and take a walk.  For starters, I suggest the length of Fenway.  It is a simple walk with only a few crossings and measures almost exactly 1 mile.  Finish this today, add a few side streets tomorrow, and before you know it you will be traversing all 12+ of our mileage that sits just outside your doorstep.  Lets go for a walk.
