Walking is on of the best exercises you can do. It is weight bearing, so it helps strengthen your bones, and has many other health benefits. You don't even need a gym membership to get out and walk. Some residents of Lufkin are about to benefit from a great new trail to enjoy what could be the most underrated form of exercise.

Walking is better than running for a lot of people. An extremely beneficial form of exercise. Walking everyday, especially out in nature gives you the added benefit of mental health.

It connects you within your body, and gives you a chance to slow down a bit. Getting out and getting active is a perfect way to calm your mind, and get healthy. So take some time out of your day to make it happen.
