Especially now when the trees are all turning. I love a crisp fall day for exercise. Walking is one of my favorite forms of exercise. Especially now when the trees are all turning.

I'll try to be more careful in future. I apologize that the link I provided is for a previous free bird walk, not an upcoming one. I’ll try to be more careful in future.

Exercise is important in anybody's life, but even more so as a way to deal with stress in tough economic times. I cancelled my YMCA membership last May as a way to save money after I lost a job. To keep in shape, I make sure I get a brisk 3 mile walk at least 5 days a week. I also discovered bird-watching, which is a great way to stay in motion for extended periods of time without realizing you are exercising, because you're experiencing nature and having fun. All over the country, local organizations offer free bird walks led by expert volunteers. Google "free bird walks [plus your town or region]" For example, I found this upcoming free walk in Wooster Ohio-- http://www.ohio4h.org/~news/story.php?id=4883 . Look on eBay or Craig's list for inexpensive binoculars and a used bird guide. Great post.
