Tips for Walking to Music
They didn't name it the Sony Walkman for nothing. Many of us enjoy the distraction of listening to radio, cassettes, or CDs while walking. Here are tips to enjoy music while walking - safely.
Music While Walking - Go Further and Be Smarter
Listening to music while walking and exercising has some surprising effects. Research shows folks do walk further when listening to music - and their brain power increases.
Top Picks for Walking Videos and DVD
Walking workout videos come in a couple of flavors. There are some that teach you how to walk, with good form, on the treadmill or outdoors. Other videos use walking combined with other moves for an indoor cardio workout. In general these provide low-impact workouts good for beginners and for times when you can't walk outdoors, and to spice up your treadmill time.
Top Picks for Walking Audio Cassettes and CDs
Tempo music and walking workout audio can help the miles fly by. The best audio includes a warm-up and cool-down at a slower tempo, then takes you up to the workout tempo. Choose a music style that you enjoy.

Before You Buy an Exercise Video
