Research has shown that walking is a surprisingly powerful health and fitness strategy—our bodies are built for it—but there’s more than one way to get the most out of your daily steps. Health spoke to three experts with different approaches to fulfilling walks to help you choose what’s best for you. “From a purely physiological standpoint, walking gets your heart rate up and burns calories,” celebrity trainer David Kirsch tells Health magazine, “But walking also enhances the mind-body connection, helps you focus on your breathing, spend time in nature, meditates, and is a great way to relieve stress.” If you’re…

To the Editor: Last summer, while having dinner with my husband at a restaurant in Paris, we started talking with our waiter about French politics. He told me that he had never voted in his life and never planned to vote again.
