Experts say “Walking is the best exercise.” It has been proven to be true since time immemorial. Our great ancestors emphasized on the benefits of walking barefoot on dew-wet-grass early in the morning. Walking barefoot not only made one relaxed and rejuvenated but also the wet grass, the fresh dew made the whole exercise delightful. As babies grow, they try to take a few steps every now and then. They are encouraged to walk not only for their mobility but also for the development of their body.
People walk for various reasons. Some of us walk because we have to reach our destination. Some of us walk to while away our leisure time, while others walk to burn out those extra calories and stay fit and healthy.
Whatever may be the reason – walking has so many benefits. When Gandhiji was fighting against the Britishers, he invited all the Indians for a Dandi March. This protest could have been in any other form but he opted for walking. Today it needs no mentioning, what that walking did for all of us and for our nation.
Times have changed and so has our lifestyle changed. Thanks to the sedentary lifestyle that everyone has adopted. Every second person you meet will be complaining of stress, fatigue, lack of time and full on extra-unwanted calories - which has furthermore added on to the frequent appointments with the doctor. Since everyone owns a vehicle, and is always in a hurry – there is no time for walking. Even if someone has to go to a next lane grocery store, one will opt for a vehicle instead of going on foot. We all want to save time and energy.
People are of the notion that walking will deprive off their energy, which they need for finishing off their chores. However the fact is entirely different. As a matter of fact, walking gives us energy, it boosts up our spirits, it freshens up our mind and body, it increases our stamina, it helps build up our metabolism and above all this, most importantly it offers us the “feel – good” factor.
