Took A Walk Down The Street-Why I Like Walking
By admin • Filed in: Walking
Walking is a great way to learn about a place, to get around, and to get some exercise when the weather is nice. You’ll notice shops, parks, and public art that you’ve been accustomed to zooming past, and come away feeling like you’ve really gotten the insider’s take on a neighborhood or city. Walking is the most environmentally-friendly mode of transport which costs nothing and offers a wide range of benefits to the individual as well as the community. One of the best ways you can reduce traffic congestion, air and noise pollution is to leave the car at home for short distance trips and walk instead. Walking is aerobic exercise. It keeps you fit and it helps you take off extra weight and keep it off.
Walking is good news for the health of Scots and tourists alike. Consequently the Scottish Executive has launched a programme called Paths for All, to raise awareness of the amazing health benefits. Walking is easier, but running makes you burn more calories for the same period of time. Fast walking may be the most preferable combination of both, as it makes you burn calories and does not require too much time. Walking is our most basic and natural form of transportation. It’s a relaxing and enjoyable way to improve your health and experience your community.
Walking is an aerobic exercise; a University of Tennessee study found that women who walked had less body fat than those who didn’t walk. It also lowers the risk of blood clots, since the calf acts as a venous pump, contracting and pumping blood from the feet and legs back to the heart, reducing the load on the heart. Walking is better than no exercise ,but I too have never subscribed to the belief that walking is equal to running.
