Feature of the Week: Take a Hike!

Whether you stride through the concrete jungle during your lunch hour, stroll along the beach in the evenings, or prance up a tree-lined trail on weekends, walking is a great way to get moving. It's easy, it's low-impact, and you don't need pricey equipment or lessons. And if you walk regularly at a good clip, you can get all the health benefits of a tough cardiovascular workout without exhausting yourself or wearing out your knees. Walk your way to a robust heart, strong bones, lower stress levels, and a shape you'll be proud to show off in your new swimsuit.

Get the basics on walking workouts.

Learn how to choose the right walking shoes for your feet.

Site of the Week: Surf, Sun, and Skin

Can you tell an innocuous mole from one that could spell trouble? Do you know how often you need to reapply sunscreen when you're at the beach? Visit the American Cancer Society's skin cancer Web site for clear answers to these and other questions. Click here for details.
