I changed my walking plans when I saw the Portland Zombie Walk was being held this weekend. Even a steady Oregon rain didn't deter me. I had to do my bit to prepare myself to survive the Zombie Apocalypse by more exposure to zombies. Hundreds of zombies were lurching around and moaning, and not just because it was only 10 am and they hadn't had enough coffee yet. They ate Voodoo Doughnuts while preparing to go on their one-mile hunt for fresh brains.

Drat, I thought I could use brain health as my excuse for my addiction to Sudoku and other puzzles. No, a study of people in their 70's found that walking several times a week and other physical activity is what kept their brain young. Engaging in mentally and socially stimulating activities didn't show any effect. At least for the Scottish 73-year olds in the study, "I would walk 500 miles" is the right tune to prevent brain shrinkage.

OK, time to take the laundry off the treadmill, give it a quick dusting and start using it to burn calories. I have a weekly treadmill workout schedule for you to follow to lose weight. A survey once found that treadmills are the best cardio exercise machine to burn calories -- because most of us can just hop on and walk or run. This schedule helps you do it effectively with a variety of workouts. These include steady state workouts, hill workouts, and speed intervals. You will be less likely to develop treadmill boredom if you mix it up. But also, you challenge your body to develop new muscle and energy systems and burn fat. Let's get moving!

Before you go into winter hibernation, clean your Camelbak or other hydration pack water bladder and your water bottles. While you are at it, clean your travel mugs. I know, I know...if you are like me, you hate cleaning anything you can't just put into the dishwasher. Also, you probably don't like the chlorine taste you can get from some cleaning tablets and methods (cough, cough...Camelbak Cleaning Tablets...)

More people are texting while walking, and it may contribute to unsafe pedestrian behavior. A study just published by the journal Injury Prevention observed over 1000 people crossing an intersection. Those who were texting while crossing took almost two extra seconds to cross, 18% slower than average and were 3.9 times more likely to display an unsafe crossing behavior. These include disobeying the lights, crossing mid-intersection, or failing to look both ways. More people were texting (7.3%) vs. talking on a handheld phone (6.2%).

I have walking buddies who love The Biggest Loser. A study by the University of Alberta found that the depiction of extreme exercise sessions on The Biggest Loser left people of all body sizes with a negative attitude toward exercise. Who wouldn't be left with a negative attitude watching people grimacing, crying, throwing up? What's fun about that kind of exercise?
I love walking because it is usually a pleasurable experience once I actually get out the door. I see new things, I get my blood moving. I clear my head, listen to music or podcasts, or chat with my walking buddies. I have a blast with Zumba dancing for higher intensity exercise. I enjoy doing an upper body routine with dumbbells -- short and sweet. I don't do exercise that is unpleasant. If I thought you had to have pain and suffering to burn off calories, I wouldn't do it.
"No Pain, No Gain" was a particularly bad slogan from past decades. Yes, you need to challenge yourself to get to new fitness levels. But you can do that with steady increases in intensity, not with extreme workouts that might leave you injured. Do too much and you set yourself up for weekend warrior injuries. Then you are back to square one, having to recover from your sports injury.
I've been on a journey back from putting on excess pounds and developing knee arthritis pain. I've steadily lost the weight, regained my walking speed, and am pain-free. I did it without extreme workouts. I used brisk walks on my breaks throughout the day, long distance training on the weekends, Zumba and other fun exercise. I also used a reasonable 1200-calorie diet five days per week. It's a sustainable lifestyle. Find the exercise you enjoy doing and do that. Don't fall into the Biggest Loser trap.

I wanted to walk an October half marathon. The Run Like Hell half marathon had a time limit of 3 hours, 30 minutes, which I could make with 16-minute miles. They encourage racing in a costume and it sounded like a blast. I timed myself the weekends before to be sure I was up to speed. I checked the final race instructions and took a glance at the race map online. Because I was going to be near the time limit, I wore my Camelbak Marathoner hydration vest and packed my own Clif bar snack, in case the water stations were closed up when I came through. While they started off being walker-friendly by greeting us as "runners and walkers," things swiftly went downhill.

I've had an excellent walking year. Here are the things that helped me the most.
Nike+ Fuelband: I snagged one when they first debuted, and since the day I snapped it on my wrist, I doubled my steps per day, every day. Even on the gloomiest, lowest-energy days, I put in the steps it takes to make my NikeFuel goal. I walked a lot of hallways, and circled the work campus at least 500 times, just to see the NikeFuel guy do his happy dance each day when I reach my goal. (Compare Prices)
