Moving forward - walking preventing sudden death

A crowed day and an opportunity for in home walk. I did a two mile walk using a program from Leslie Sansone. It was easy to do and I got a real workout. No treadmill or equipment, I just moved the coffee table and I was on my way. These walks include moving allot of muscle groups not normally used in outdoor walks. Barb joined me for the second mile. These walks are great for bad weather days and late walking when it would not be safe to walk at night. If the weather is extreme to cold or hot you can get that heart healthy walk in. Walking not only helps the heart it also helps every part of our bodies and even helps us sleep.
Dale will be waked on Monday. It is hard to lose a friend and particularly when with better medical treatment and diet and exercise the death could have been prevented. Are you at risk? See a doctor, get the medicine, eat better and walk. Doing the right things beats a heart attack. Give your self a fighting chance and take the right steps. You may fear what the doctor may tell you, but knowing your situation and doing what you can is better than ignoring it. maybe you knew someone who did the right things and they still died suddenly. I know we don't have all the information and answers, we are human with a lifespan of 50 to a 100. Eating fruits and vegetables and less fatty foods, 3/4 plate, once you get used to it you will feel better.
I always feel better after a walk. If my journey is improved by walking and eating right, why not? Keep walking!
