The Best Place to Walk

A good article I found on www.realage.com

A walk on a treadmill or a walk in the park? Either one will get you fit, but the walk in the park may make you feel a whole lot better!
Research confirms it: Exercising in a green environment puts you in a better frame of mind than working out in a sterile gym. Go figure!
The Green Scene: In a study, people walked on a treadmill and viewed pictures of urban areas or images of rural scenes with lots of green spaces. The result? Besides bringing down blood pressure, viewing the green scenery improved energy and activity levels, raised self-esteem, and boosted mood.

Hi parag,

Nice article.. one can observe this when one goes in a mall and in park.. one will be more relaxed in park.. since things around him soothe ones mind, but other places it is quite stressful..

Keep writing.
