STOP THE PRESSES–AND START HIKING! by Steve Nadis
Were it not for a new study in the November 2006 issue of the American Journal of Preventative Medicine, we never would have guessed: People who regularly go hiking, biking, or walking on trails specifically designated for such purposes are twice as likely to meet their recommended exercise requirements than people who do not (and presumably prefer to get their exercise while planted on a couch, watching TV). Now there’s a shocker. Let’s chalk up another victory for modern medical science. The wonders never cease.

You m, me, mea, mean… I have to actually e-x-e-r-c-i-s-e to meet my “recommended exercise requirements”?
Incredible.
Hi FW — You’re sharp. What we used to call a “quick study.”
