According to Dr. James Sallis (the winner of the 2012 Bloomberg Manulife prize for the Promotion of Active Health); the layout of our neighbourhoods can affect our ability to stay healthy and fit. The study found that people who live in a high-walkable neighbourhood get 35-45 more minutes of physical activity per week and are less likely to be overweight and obese compared to those who live in low-walkable neighbourhoods. Find a good place to walk and get in the habit of exercising to reap the benefits from developing a weekly exercise routine. During colder and snowy months find a mall or gym where you can walk indoors. Many of our malls now have trees and plants making them better places to walk.
