Walking makes you fit, seriously

I just remembered this and thought it may be worth mentioning even though I didn't think much of it at the time.
I have been walking, pretty much every day, for about 30-40 minutes, sometimes more, sometimes less. I do this not through self-discipline and motivation, but through necessity as I bought a puppy last year who grew into a 65 pounder
He *needs* walks, and I must admit they can be enjoyable to ponder life, listen to music and so on. I do grumble about it sometimes, though.
Anyways, I have never been a jogger and never will be. Truthfully, I'm just naturally not athletic at all and dislike heavy exercise a lot. But one day I was rather pissed at someone and really felt the urge to move. For fun, I put on running shoes, went outside and started jogging. I made it all the way around a short route without stopping. I have never been able to do that, probably won't bother again, but it shows the shape that walking has put me in. If walking can do that, I'll stick to it. Plus, it's better on yours knees. But at least some proof for me that it does work!
