You know how easy it is to start a walking program and then let it slide? You get busy or you forget or you get injured or you feel silly or whatever—life happens and your walking program goes back on the shelf. Lace up those sneakers and let’s walk together! We’ll learn how to start a walking program, walk for weight loss, wear proper clothes, select the right shoes and socks, use a pedometer or a GPS or an mp3 player, walk safely, prevent and treat common injuries, and stay motivated to reap all the great benefits of walking for fitness!

Let Steps, the Walking newsletter help keep you on the track! You’ll get a weekly newsletter to keep you up to date with the latest articles on walking, and it will serve as a reminder to keep on walking. In fact, you can use it as an opportunity to take a walk that very day and schedule walks for the rest of your week.

Signing up is both easy and free! Look to the right of this article. See the box labeled Free Newsletter? Just type in your email address. That’s it.

No long forms to fill out with your personal information. Your inbox will not be bombarded with crazy offers and your email address will not be sold or shared. (I do not have access to the database and will never see your email address, unless your newsletter bounces and your ISP sends me a bounce notice.)

You can unsubscribe at any time, too. There’s an unsubscribe link in each newsletter.

Once you sign up, you’ll receive a confirmation notice. If you don’t get the confirmation notice, it means your email filters are blocking us. Just whitelist the walking site by adding it to your address book. Due to the number of subscribers, I cannot respond to email filter messages, so please add BellaOnline.com to your address book if you want to receive the newsletter.

Walking at Bella Online welcomes your suggestions, questions and ideas! Just send a comment via the Bio page and it will get to me! Or, post in the Walking forum.

And, I invite you to visit the Small Office/Home Office site. I have been writing for that site since 2005 and if you have your own business or would like to have your own business, you might be interested in the articles there.
