At Home With The People

Back in Independence, the former President continued his daily walks. Reporters, photographers, and even Secret Service men sometimes had difficulty keeping up. However, Truman's quick pace didn't deter the public. People often approached the fast-paced former President to ask his opinion or request an autograph.

"As part of my daily routine, I usually take a walk of a mile
and a half, at a pace of 120 steps a minute . . . If you walk
120 paces a minute, your whole body gets a vigorous
workout. You swing your arms and take deep breaths as
you walk . . . After you are fifty years old, this is the best
exercise you can get . . .. [S]ome aging exhibitionists try to
prove that they can play tennis or handball or anything else
. . . And every once in a while one of them falls dead of a
heart attack. I say that's not for me."
