"There are some good things to say about walking ..., for example, it requires more time than any other form of locomotion except to crawl. Consequently, it dilates time and prolongs life, which is already too short to be wasted with speed ... Walking makes the world much bigger and, therefore, more interesting. One has time to observe the details. "
Edward Paul Abbey
(Writer and American environmentalist)

However, even knowing that they will benefit, if you have to walk even a little, prefer to take a taxi or if you have your own vehicles do all your daily diligence in the car, motorcycle, bicycle, among others.
This habit is often seen by many as normal and by not practicing it influences so that there are many cases of body overweight, abnormal rhythm in cardiac activity and a chronic sedentary lifestyle, which has generated so many diseases and even the death of many people in the world , just for not wanting to walk.
When we walk our body automatically organizes all its mechanism and locomotion system strengthening the lower extremities and giving a harmonic balance to the upper ones. When we walk the most important organs in the circulatory activity are strengthened and released by the loss of fat that prevents them from free action, as for example; the heart, the brain, the lungs and other organism and smaller systems, but that also have a vital importance in our development from day to day, because they will keep us healthy and productive.

The walker recreates his sight and all his mental and spiritual activity in his long and wandering walks with the different landscapes and decorations that he will always see on his way, which will not be equal to the enjoyment of those who walk in a vehicle or walk in a closed circuit. In the stadiums and squares of the cities you can see people walking for their health, but usually, they do it by medical recommendation, to slim their figure or because they are very obese.
If whenever we need to do a diligence or go to our work walked we can fulfill two objectives at the same time; since if we take the forecasts of the necessary time we will arrive with greater security and on time and we can face the bad transport service in many cities of our country, in addition to the high cost of it.
Doctors recommend walking 20 to 30 minutes a day and 3 or 4 times a week.
