Did you know that walking really is the easiest exercise? Walking can be done at just about anytime and anywhere. You can walk outdoors on the sidewalk, at a track, on a treadmill, at the mall. Or you can even walk in place, getting that heart pumping!

With a good pair of shoes that have heel support, walking is simple. Walking not only makes you feel good, you will start to notice in just a very short time, that by adding walking into you daily routine, you will soon have more energy. Walking will also help decrease your stress level, to make you feel more relaxed. Overall, it will improve your fitness, and by gently increasing your speed or distance every day, walking will improve your stamina.

Most of the time I like to walk alone, with my iPod, and sing along as I walk around town. Sometimes I do walk with a friend though, and that is when I seem to pick up the pace and walk longer. It all depends on my mood, I guess.

Whatever my mood, I do enjoy it, once I get out there and walk.

Who will join me in my new walking routine?

Boomergirl, created for boomer women, born 1946 to 1964, is a community-based website offering beauty, fashion, family, finances, fitness and health advice; information of all sort and the latest news; blogs written by Boomergirl staff and members; clubs to join; hot tip of the day, Brain Boost; and a daily Spanish lesson. You can find well-written editorials and virtual flashbacks into the past.

Boomergirl can be counted in as complementary company to BoomerWomenSpeak and Eons, all geared with a format for readers 50-plus. If you are a baby boomer, give Boomergirl a look. Although new to the internet, its aim looks to be comprehensive and I predict, will grow community fairly rapidly. After all, there is an estimated 77 million baby boomers in the U.S. alone. The youngest is now 43, and the oldest is 61. A baby boomer turns 60 every seven seconds, and this trend will continue for almost two decades to come.

That the internet is not flooded with blogs, social networks and websites focused on, and written by, this age demographic is currently a mystery to me. I suspect it is only a matter of time before we will see an influx of individuals and groups representing the baby boomer generation. Boomergirl is genius that way.

If you have a boomer-focused blog, website or social networking group, introduce yourself in the comments and leave a link. We would be delighted to meet you.

This little gadget will track all of my activities and then analyze what I have done. That should give me a pretty good idea if I have come close to doing enough exercise for the day!
