Our bodies are made for walking at a comfortable pace . . . with jogging and running more appropriate for faster paces, IF people want to move that fast. For anyone, and especially for people who are obese, walking a set distance at a comfortable pace is likely to be less stressful on the joints and more fun to sustain.  This story features Rodger Kram and Ray Browning
