The current report is the second part of a series of an ongoing health and leisure activity study, as it includes the survey results of the habitual walkers' health conditions and activity levels of daily living, as well as the walking behavior patterns of these walkers. Habitual walkers who participate in certain organized walking events of Japan Walking Association and Japan Manpo Club cooperated in obtaining the data for this study, while the results were compared with the cases of other non-walkers groups. It was then found that the walkers are often middle and high aged people, yet they demonstrate a tendency of heavier engagement in many health related behaviors, such as physical activities, not over-eating, free from mental stress, not obese and free from smoking. On the other hand, because of aging, the walkers seem to be bothered by certain symptoms that are related to degenerative diseases, such as high serumcholesterol, diabetes, hypertension, arteriosclerosis and heart diseases. The results of an analysis of the time, speed and step rate of the walking exercise which took place during "10, 000 step walking experience" of the National Sports Day Central Program at the National Stadium in Tokyo were also presented.
