"I have two doctors, my left leg and my right." -G.M. Trevelyan

Since my gym membership is currently frozen (till the end of the month. as I failed to pay on time. arr.), I've been walking a lot as an alternative exercise. I'd walk from my office to my house, or from my house to Shopwise, or from my house to Ayala Triangle after work. It shouldn't be so bad as an alternative exercise -- I read an interesting article where it says, we should start walking because:

1. Walkers Live Longer
2. Walking Helps Prevent Weight Gain
3. You Can Walk Off Weight (for long-term weight loss)
4. Walking Reduces Risk of Cancer
5. Walking Reduces Risk of Heart Disease and Stroke
6. Walking Reduces Diabetes Risk
7. Walking Boosts Your Brain Power
8. Walking Improves Mood and Relieves Stress
9. Walking Can Prevent Erectile Dysfunction (n/a for me, of course. haha)
10. It's Easy to Get Started Walking

As for me, it maintains my active lifestyle, hence it's easier to get up in the morning. Secondly, it keeps me warm (not fever-like. but rather the opposite of "ginawin"). It also makes my exercise dynamic, seeing different views, unlike in the gym where I'd rely just on the TV or on my music to avoid boredom. Best of all, at the end of the day, it makes me feel like I've had a good workout without feeling exhausted from strenuous cardio exercises, thus I'm having more time for myself. :)
