        Absolutely. I suggest walking or any other activity based solely on it's
contribution to the maintenance or gaining of strength. Your ability to
hold or gain muscle is the single most important indicator of health as
your hormones, relationships, finances, physical activities, diet, etc.,
must all be in order for one to keep or gain muscle. Muscle is the most
significant contributor to metabolic rate and thus the most important
contributor to the control of body fat levels.
