Not sold on the idea of walking? Check out this piece from WBUR about the terrific benefits of walking for everyone who is able, featuring research undertaken by Shane O’Mara in his recently published book “In Praise of Walking: The New Science of How We Walk and Why It’s Good for Us". Walking is a great way to get to know and experience our vibrant city, whether by joining our walking tours, participating in our "I Spy Somerville" Challenges, or just exploring on foot for enjoyable exercise!
