A "constitutional" (kon-stih-TOO-shun-ul) is a walk taken for your health (for the benefit of your "constitution").
Example (as used by Richard Elman in Namedropping: Mostly Literary Memoirs): "Kerensky was, I imagine, on his usual early morning constitutional."
[Ed. Note: Become a more persuasive writer and speaker ... build your self-confidence and intellect ... increase your attractiveness to others ... just by spending 10 VERY enjoyable minutes a day with ETR's new Words to the Wise CD Library.]
