Joining with others to run or walk
John Stanton was out of shape years ago, but has become an outgoing advocate of exercise; particularly running and walking. He travels to major events and gives talks in his stores about running for fitness, and to tell people how to get started. He tells the story of how he got started, and outlines a summary of the advice he gives for people who are starting out:
I met John in a restaurant next door to one of his Winnipeg stores, where he started out by telling me how he went from being out of shape to becoming an enthusiastic runner.
John explains how to start out without technical jargon about heart rates. His bottom line; take it easy, but gradually strive to do more, do it with others, and above all, make it fun.
