Lace Up Your Walking Shoes!

Spring is in the air, so what better time to dust off your walking shoes and get outside? There are so many opportunities to get moving outside--from a walk in your neighborhood, to a local, state, or federal park, to a stroll along a river, lake, or beach, walking is an easy, low-impact exercise that's beneficial for overall fitness. Many parks and other public places have ADA accommodations or are ADA compatible.
