"All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking"
- Friedrich Nietzsche, German philosopher
"Exercise, such as walking, increases the blood flow to the brain. A 1999 study of people over 60 found that walking 45 minutes a day at 16-minute mile pace increased the thinking skills of those over 60. The participants started at 15 minutes of walking and built up their time and speed. The result was that the same people were mentally sharper after taking up this walking program" (Wendy Bumgardner, Certified Marathon Coach, http://walking.about.com/cs/mindandspirit/a/mindspirit.htm).
