' JM-r49'w-Vi , Walking as exercise By Steven I. Subotnick, D.P.M., M.S. The running craze has almost become a revolution in the Uni ted States. It's estimated that 30 million people now run or jog daily, but what about those who find running or jogging too stressful? What about those who have tried jogging and gotten hurt? What about those who only wish to do gentle exercises such as walking? Walking is an excellent form of aerobic exercise. Aerobic means that you are increasing your body's ability to utilize oxygen. Walking gently elevates your heart rate and increases the effi ciency of your heart as a pump. It also increases your body's ability to more efficiently utilize oxygen. The metabolism of your body is likewise made more efficient. Who should walk? Everyone! Everyone should walk 30 min utes per day at a brisk pace, five days a week. You should not be out of breath when you're walk ing since this may over-stress vour heart. It's a good idea to do some gentle stretching exercises be fore and after you walk. Exer cises which are helpful are those to stretch the muscles in the back of your leg. This can be easily accomplished by just leaning against the wall. I am often asked what type of shoes are best for walking. I find that the jogging shoes currently being used are excellent for walking. Likewise, crepe-soled oxford type shoes are good for walking. What about foot pain as sociated with walking ? It is pos sible that with walking you can have pain anywhere in the foot. Usually you will have this pain before you started your walking program, but the walk ing program may aggravate it. If this is the case, you should see a podiatrist. A podiatrist may find an imbalance in the foot which needs some form of accommodation or correction. An orthotic foot device (custom made foot support) usually will take care of the problem. . Who should run? Those people who have been on a walking program for four to six weeks and have had absolutely no problems adapting to it, may Prices Effective February 20 thru 24, 1980 Zee Assorted colors to choose from.

I suggest jogging for about 10 minutes, walking for 10 min utes, jogging for another 10 min utes, and then walking for 10 minutes. This should be done for two to three weeks before you at tempt to jog a total of 30-40 minutes per day. The more you jog or run, the more necessary it will be to use stretching exercises before and alter you run. Likewise, when you begin running, any mild to moderate imbalance you have in your foot may cause some form of stiff ness or overuse injury and. if this is the case, a sports-oriented podiatrist will be able to balance your feet with some form of Sporthotic device.
