Just walk

To the Editor,

I hope that the story about Robert Irey and his accomplishments teaches everyone an important lesson. Robert lost 90 pounds. He didn't do it by spending large sums of money on equipment or dues to a fitness club. He did it by walking. That's all it took, walking to pay bills, walking to work, just walking.

Thomas Jefferson, probably our most intellegent president, said, "Walking is the best exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far." Congratulations to Robert, keep it up and thanks for showing us all what simply walking can do.
