Walking Clothing
Think loose, breathable, and layered. Layer your clothing for comfort -rather than wearing a thick sweatshirt and becoming sweaty after the first 10 minutes, wear a t-shirt under a windproof jacket. For colder weather, dress in three layers: a wicking underlayer, an insulating middle layer and a windproof/water resistant jacket.

Looking Good
How do you see yourself as you are walking? Are you an athlete, training for the big event? Are you a pilgrim trekking to a spiritual destination? Are you a tortoise or a hare? Do your clothes reflect how you see yourself as a walker?
Vitamins - Naturally
Eating a variety of foods with plenty of fruits and vegetables is the best way to get the micro-nutrients that you need. They only put a few things into vitamin pills - your body needs the whole variety found in the fresh food itself. But if you want to make sure that you are getting at least the minimum, get an inexpensive multi-vitamin and take one a day.
