A regular walking exercise program is an extremely safe exercise with almost zero risk of injury. Walking is also an ideal exercise for men and women who want to prevent osteoporosis and for couples and families who want to spend healthy, quality time together.

If you can find a walking partner, this activity soon becomes even more enjoyable. Try out some these walking activities to make the time go by more enjoyable.

Try taking a basketball with you. Take turns with your partner dribbling the ball. Each person should dribble the ball at least 5 times but no more than 10 before bounce-passing to your partner.

During your walk, play one or more games together. For instance, the Alphabet Game (find letters of the alphabet in order on signs), I spy (one person picks out a visible object and tells its color, partner guesses what it is in 20 questions).
