• I do a lot of things to stay healthy such as morning walks,yoga, cycling and so on but here I would like to talk about the morning walk.
• Every day I get up early in the morning and go for a morning walk.
• I go with my grandfather,who is 95.
• He has never missed his morning walk in his life.
• In fact his secret of good health is the morning walk.
• I joined him about a year ago and ever since I also have been very regular.
• We go to a park near our home.
• There is a jogging track in the park which is full of activity in those early morning hours.
• My grandfather and I both wear our track suits and walking shoes while walking.
• During our walk,my grandpa tells me a lot of stories.
• He has a lot to tell and sometimes I am surprised at his memory.
• Morning walk has a lot of benefits.
• I used to be very fat, in fact, a couch potato, but now I am very fit – all because of the walk and all because of my grandfather who made me do it.
• Morning walk also improves blood circulation.
• It is a good exercise for all age groups.
• The young can do a brisk walk and the elderly can do a leisurely stroll.
• There is a laughter club in my home town.
• Sometimes they too are there in the park at that time.
• They come there to laugh out their stress and worries.
• Their laughter is so infectious that when they laugh we also can’t help laughing with them.
• So a morning walk is the activity which I do to stay healthy.
