Been working out the formula of walking for fitness for over a year now. I've tried walking up and down hills, walking city streets and scooting around suburban neighborhoods with tree-lined yards.
Here's the new twist. I walked today in my toe shoes-- those funny looking things that look like feet. I walked on soft ground, around soccer fields. Lucky for me I have a large area that covers about 1 1/3 miles for a single lap around the soccer fields. I tried it with the Fila shoes.
Fila calls them EZ Slide. You kinda feel like a cartoon character because you slide your five toes into a space with only four places. Cartoon characters always have four finger 'cause it looks better. So now you have four toes. But you feel the ground under your feet. The lack of a tennis shoe changes your gait slightly. Maybe closer to a barefoot walker-- a primitive man.
I'm not endorsing any particular shoe-- just that you walk briskly and try to increase your brisk walking time as you get in better shape. Have fun!
