You’ll never walk alone. At least, according to some recent research conducted at Medical Research Council in Glasgow, Scotland, you are far less likely to walk alone than with someone else. The study, which looked at 48 papers written about the best ways to get people to walk for exercise, concluded that people who walked in groups were far more likely to keep it up, and that reminders, such as phone calls and e-mails, helped to get people off their duffs. The research is reported in the New York Times and published in the British Medical Journal.
