I don't think there's a better form of exercise. :) Walking lowers my cholesterol, keeps my dog happy, makes me happy, and lowers my blood pressure.

Writer's Block = frustration! <strong>Brianna</strong>, Hi! I love that you and your family have established a routine of taking walks! It's great exercise, but, even more importantly, it's time to spend together as a family. :) MizFit,
I hear you! Writer’s Block = frustration!

Brianna,
Hi! I love that you and your family have established a routine of taking walks! It’s great exercise, but, even more importantly, it’s time to spend together as a family. :)

And, like you and MizFit, I find them to get my creative juices flowing. It is that great combo of fresh air and increased heart rate that clears my mind and gets the stale air out of my lungs. We take walks as a family after dinner - something my husband and I have done on a regular basis since we first got married 8 years ago. Now with kids, that's our opportunity to have some conversation while they're busy watching everything around us and entertaining one another - priceless! Oh, and I love your take on how great it is not to get sweaty during those short breaks! :) Breaks are ESSENTIAL for me to manage everything mentally.

Keep up *your* great work by biking... ah, to work! ;) <strong>Sagan</strong>, So true, but much more of a challenge bringing along the computer! Maybe a hand held voice recorder... We'd look like secret agents! :) <strong>Hi JoLynn</strong>, I had to learn to take breaks, funny as that sounds. My previous job was extremely busy, so taking a break was unheard of. So actually having a lunch hour was somewhat of a novelty in my current position. I really appreciate it, though! Bag Lady,
I hope you can always have your recess! :)

Lance,
Thanks. Keep up *your* great work by biking… ah, to work! ;)

I've been biking to work, and for me this has become a great time for me to just "think". Keep it up! Great way to get out, get a break, and have a chance to think outside the building.
