A Public Service Announcement about Sidewalks

"Sidewalks" are poorly named. They are on the side, but they are hardly a good place to walk.

Everyone knows they are hard on your knees (so hard), but they can be just as hard on the rest of your joints: ankles, hips, and back.

And they don't exercise you as well. If your walking, it is better to go on some sort of "undulating" surface. Like dirt. Or grass. Or, hell, even the street. They will keep your ankles stronger. And your knees, hips and back. Keeping all the smaller, unrecognized, balancing muscles from weakening.
