The Joy of Long (or Not So Long) Walks

Greening Up My Act

Take a stroll with us, or a fart walk, if you will, to learn more about why walking is so great. Can walking actually improve your digestion (the fart walk question!)? Is running better for you than walking? And is it better to walk in nature or on city streets? We highly recommend listening to this on an actual walk, so grab your headphones and get moving (just be safe).
