Think you saw a famous face on your walk today? It's possible: These celebs have a walking habit, too.
Who: Laura Leighton, star of Melrose Place

Who: Art Garfunkel, singer/songwriter
Why he walks: "Walking is very primal. You begin to see how it works the body. It's wonderful for breathing, and it tones up the physical self."

Who: Sarah Chalke, star of Scrubs

Who: Brooke Shields, actress/model/mom of two
Why she walks: To reenergize when the life of a working mom wipes her out. "When I'm exhausted, exercise is the only thing that reinvigorates me. I'll make appointments with people to go hiking and meet them at the base of a hill."
Who: Kristen Bell, actress
Why she walks: To have fun with her dogs, including little Lola and somewhat-bigger Mr. Shakes (aka Shakey). Both were rescued from the pound. "My best stress reliever is playing with my pups."
Who: Jada Pinkett Smith, actress
