A minutes per mile nudging their heart rates to 56 percent. The women who. Indeed fastest got  y a. Increase in cardio respiratory fitness a 16 percen uhe study said. The slower  by 9 percent and -.4 percent respectively while the no exercise control group became 6 percent less lit 1 _ a exercise also burned calories 900 percent More than a the resting rate for the fastest group 500 percent and 400 percent More respectively for  groups the a study found there was no appreciable Overall weight loss but the women lost fat and gained muscle tissue said the study s director John j., Duncan Quot associate director of the. My Institute s department of exercise physiology a i the greater fat burning Benefit of aerobic walking goes against conventional Wisdom he said the Standard idea is that everyone who covers the same amount of ground should Burn about the same number. Of calories with the slower people just taking longer to a do it he speculates the 12 mule per mile Pace is so awkward a at that Speed Durd want to break into a run a that biomechanical inefficiency made the women work harder. 1 even slower walkers gained hols said to sweep the bloodstream of Low density lipoproteins the Quot bad Quot cholesterol associated with a higher risk of heart.

Unlike ,.corns have a Crown a a slightly raised Center. They form on the tops of toes and Are caused by too much friction usually because Quot shoes Are too tight and rub against the top of the toes a the most common treatment for corns is Quot pads made of. Moleskin or other soft material available without a prescription at pharmacies these Are placed Over the corns and worn Dufin walking or other exercise to _ _ prevent further irritation 1 but done to use a whole pad to encircle the Corn advised Howard Marshall chief of podiatry at the los Angeles county University of Southern California instead Marshall said Cut circular pads in half then wedge the half Moon shaped pad under the Corn place it so that the rounded pad is closest to the Basa of the toe Marshall said a _ some Corn  come permeated with a medication often said cynic acid a solution that slowly eats away the Corn Quot avoid these products because they can Burn a Hole in the skin and cause an infection Quot said Stephen pro but president of the District of Columbia podiatric medical association Quot i _ _ Quot a pads will help treat minor corns but severe corns May requiem surgery which is Why podiatrists recommend switching to shoes that no longer rub or. Squeeze the toes at the first sign of trouble Well fitting shoes also Heip Cut Down on the formation of calluses that occur elsewhere on the foot. To Check shoes draw an outline of Bare feet. Than place a shoe a on top of the outline. Where the shoe cuts into the outline is where pressure Points pay result in calluses and blisters r pumice stones can be used to slowly rub away some of the callus. Lotions and creams applied at night Are also Good for softening calluses and lubricating skin Quot this reduces the friction and makes it less Likely to a Quot a Quot develop corns blisters and calluses Spund said Jue Dayr May 7, egg a the stars and stripes a a a Page 15
