Travel Fit Tip: Multi-task While Walking

Walking is a great way to burn calories and relieve stress. A 30 minute walk at a 3.5 mph pace burns about 80 calories per 100 pounds of body weight. (Check out Calories Per Hour for the specifics for your pace, sex, age, height, and weight).

Pressed for time? You can multi-task while you walk:

• Take your cell phone and call home to chat with friends and family.
• Take a co-worker (or two) with you and have a meeting or brainstorming session.
• Use your walking time as "think time" to noodle on an important problem or mentally rehearse for a presentation or speech.
• Check your voice and return messages.
• Hold a conference call from your cell phone.
