Enjoying a leisurely walk

Over the past 18 months, Michael Oh and Anna Derby discovered a nice path filled with trees, all kinds of different colors of flowers, birds, playful squirrels, hawks and marvelous sunsets.

“We didn’t know how beautiful our surroundings were until a friend took a photo while we were on a daily walk,” Derby said. “This photo looks like a forest path, far away from Leisure World.”

The pair said that having company helps them walk longer and makes the routine pleasant. They see the same walkers each day and they smile at one another, which makes it even more fun.

Variety is the key for the success, they believe, so creating a routine that allows both flexibility and the opportunity for increased distance helps them stay motivated.
