Walking: The Ultimate Exercise for Optimum Health




Sounds True: Producer's Pick show

Summary: We know how valuable exercise can be for enhancing our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Yet we tend to think of it as something that must be strenuous, involving heavy weights or formidable physical challenges. But Dr. Andrew Weil shows us evidence that walking—an activity so simple that many of us take it for granted—may actually be the single best exercise for our health and vitality. When selecting this audio clip from the program Walking: The Ultimate Exercise for Optimum Health, Sounds True producer Matt Licata was impressed by Dr. Weil’s ability to simplify and demystify exercise. “As an avid walker myself,” says Matt, “I love the way that Dr. Weil lays out an inspiring vision for the power of walking to create a true shift in our life experience.”
