Thanksgiving 2024 is here and it can be a fantastic day for a walk! Here are a few reasons why:
Fresh Air and Exercise: After indulging in a hearty meal, a walk is a great way to get some light exercise and aid digestion.
Family Time: Walking together can be a wonderful bonding activity with family and friends.
Beautiful Scenery: Late November often showcases crisp autumn weather, with golden leaves and cool temperatures, making for a scenic stroll. Just remember to be careful of wet leaves on the ground!
Gratitude and Reflection: A quiet walk provides a chance to reflect on what you’re thankful for and enjoy a peaceful moment during a busy day.
Just check the weather forecast in your area to make sure it’s suitable, and dress warmly if it’s chilly. Happy Thanksgiving to all and this Thursday, get your walking poles and Let's Get Out There!

i have CRPS in my leg and need a mobile aid to get around, but i have terrible arthritis in my hands and wrists. using a cane has become impossible because of how much it hurts my hand/wrist, and i can't use a manual wheelchair for the same reason. my smartcrutch has been an absolute lifesaver. being able to adjust the forearm portion to be horizontal takes nearly all the pressure off my hand and wrist. it's not nearly as heavy as i expected it to be either. i am incredibly impressed. i can't imagine ever going back to a cane.
