  • Walking Tour

    The best thing about a walking tour is allowing us to heighten our senses and explore our surroundings.  Of course, walking each day provides you with more energy. Also, walking is a great cardiovascular activity.  Furthermore, walking on a treadmill, outdoors, or on a walking tour when visiting a new place is sure to provide you with exercise and enjoyment.

    Walking Tour

    When traveling to a new city, state or country, consider venturing out on a walking tour to visit interesting sites and get information on the area.

    Walking is the best way to visit a city.  Boston is known for its twisted streets, history and architecture, old buildings, landmarks, and neighborhoods.

    Some great tours to embark on when visiting Boston are:

    • Boston By Foot – Provided by a non-profit educational organization to promote public awareness and appreciation of Boston’s history for people of all ages.
    • Freedom Trail – This is a 2.5 mile walk visiting historic sites.
    • Boston City Walks – This is a popular narrated tour taking you through the city.

    Walking Shoes

    It is important to wear comfortable shoes.  A good pair of walking shoes is a must on vacations when sightseeing by foot.

    Sketchers Go Walk for Women featured below are the perfect slip on shoe to enhance your wardrobe.  This walking shoe provides maximum breathability and comfort while having you stay active and look good.  I own several pairs of these shoes in different colors and patterns.

    Lifestyle sneakers are good for both Men and Women.  They are meant for walking and there are many styles, colors, and patterns available.  The right walking shoes are important in preventing blisters and calluses.  It is important to have supportive shoes.  Find a pair that works for your foot and test it out before you use them for travel or walking.

    The durable lightweight money bag is the perfect accessory to have when your walking, exercising, running, or bicycling.  This multi-purpose bag will hold your money, cell phone, and keys.

    Health Benefits

    Walking is a health benefit.  It is not only beneficial for cardio exercise but also provides psychological health benefits.  The more walking you do, the more energetic you feel.  I like starting my day with a walk on my treadmill.  Walking 15 minutes a day provides you with a boost to give you a bounce in your step.  In the nicer weather, venture outdoors for a walk on the beach, lake, trail, or join a walking club.  In the winter months, consider walking inside a mall or an indoor track at a fitness facility.
