Walking

Simple.
There is really no fancy clothing or gear you need in order to walk.
Just open the door, step outside, and keep going.
Wait! Put some pants on!

Contemplative.
Walking allows you to exercise while taking time to think, observe and enjoy your surroundings.
- There's a turtle on that log!
- Hey the neighbors got 22" chrome rims on their Hummer!
- That bird just farted when it flew by...why yes, it was that bird...
- It smells funny right here (not related to the bird).

For goodness sake don't walk and talk on your cellphone or listen to music on your iPad (true story...sullen teen trailing enthusiastic dad...iPad cradled in arm..no headphones...music blaring in the woods). You will miss out.

Just walk.
