Walking (the practice)

Walking is a natural, rhythmic movement involving the coordinated action of muscles, joints, and the nervous system, primarily used for transportation and exercise. It engages muscles in the legs, hips, and core, promoting cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and mental well-being. Proper walking technique involves an upright posture, relaxed shoulders, and a natural stride, with heel-to-toe foot placement. As a low-impact activity accessible to most, walking can be adapted for fitness, leisure, or daily movement, making it an effective way to support overall health and physical activity without requiring special equipment or skill.
