Great article, I have a dog and walk around 45 mins each day. I believe if it wasnt for this I wouldnt be half as fit.

I am a sales rep and as a consequence I didn’t get much exercise as I sat at my desk, then sat in the car on the way to meetings, then sat a my client’s desk, then drove home, then sat at my desk again. I was getting bigger and bigger until one day I couldn’t do up my size 38 waist trousers and thought ‘NO! There’s NO WAY I’m going to buy a size 40 waist’. So I got in my car to measure a point 1 mile from my house. When I got back I walked to that point and back again and this really opened my eyes as to how unfit I was – I was knackered and my ankles were really hurting.

I bought a pair of walking boots for support and kept up this 2 mile trip daily to such an extent that it became a doddle so I added another mile to the outward journey – doubling my walk to 4 miles. Well I got thoroughly sick of this same route so I got in my car to work our a circular route; it is 6.5 miles and this too became a doddle. I know have 3 circular routes, the longest of which is 12 miles which I do about once a fortnight. The weight came off and I’m in a size 32 waist. So yes – GET WALKING.

Totally agree Tomasz. The fact that some people use their cars to go down to the local shops or visit their close neighbours is quite amazing. Nice blog by the way.

I think most importantly walking prevent health conditions like heart disease and stroke. With the minimum effort you can maintain good health through all your life stages. So why people are still using cars to travel walking distance?
