I too know the benefits of walking. I walk so much at work and I try to walk briskly to make it count. I have been losing weight since January at a slow pace. Was this due to walking? Not entirely, lol When I garden I just plop down and sit to do a lot of it. At work also if I needed to do something on the bottom shelves I just plopped down on my knees. In January I fell and ripped my right knee open pretty bad. I was unable to just plop down. My knee forced my to bend over about a hundred times a day for quite a few weeks. Between this and the walking I have been doing good. I have tried to keep this up. I have started planting some shrubs that I over wintered and I am trying not to sit down so much when I am planting. I woudln't recommend ripping your knee open to start a weight loss program but at least I saw some benefit from all the pain. LOL I am glad I was still able to walk.
Thanks for the article. I did used to spend a lot of time sitting on the ground when I gardened.
