The health benefits of this level of activity are an argument in favor of switching from automobile commuting to public transit, the researchers say. | | Source: Walking to transit: An unexpected source of physical activity | | | | | | FEATURED PRODUCT | | | | | | ADVERTISEMENT | | | | | | | | | | Follow the Stat: | | | | | | | | BEST SELLERS | | | | | | PREVIOUS STATS | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UNSUBSCRIBE | UPDATE YOUR PROFILE | MORE EMAIL NEWSLETTERS | PRIVACY POLICY | | | | Was this email forwarded to you?
