With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I've recently begun to walk more lately, to add to my exercise regimen, but, I've noticed that if I walk for long distances, I get heartburn. Is that normal? The last walk I noticed it on was approximately 4K and took about 45 minutes. It wasn't a walk for exercise only, it was partly enjoyment, and partly getting to work for free ;) Thanks! ..shadow..

That hasn't ever given me heartburn on its' own before. Do you think that plus the walking could have triggered heartburn? Thanks! ..shadow..
