Quotes

"Walking is a widely recommended way to get exercise; it doesn't require a gym, membership dues or fancy equipment. However, those who walk frequently for fitness can get into a rut, doing the same course over and over. To the rescue is "The Walking Deck". The cards encourage walkers to diversify their routine so they get more out of their workouts." -Los Angeles Times
