Summary
At Walking Pace explains why walking is the unsung hero of our times. It helps listeners gain or regain an understanding of the practical benefits of walking to well-being, enjoyment, thinking, and resilience.
Walking is the most natural means of getting around under your own steam and the only sustained dynamic exercise that is possible for nearly all of us to participate in (even if we go slowly at first). No special skills or equipment are required, and you can do it anywhere. Walking is flexible enough to be accommodated into occupational and domestic routines, as well as for leisure or specific fitness training.
Exploring the evolutionary and historical importance of walking, this book uncovers how the principles that motivated people to walk in the past are even more relevant in the 21st century. Walking can help you get fitter, feel better, and work smarter during these uncertain and hectic times. Life really is better "at walking pace".
At Walking Pace enlightens you to the ways that walking can enhance your life, whether you want to start walking in earnest for health or well-being reasons, or because you are curious about just how walking can make an impact on your life. Using a combination of research study information, observation, and her own experience, the author has summarized the ways that you can use walking in your life - from improving your physical and psychological health to strengthening your creativity, problem-solving skills, and resilience. The book is packed with information from research, observation, and the personal experience of the author and others. It is enjoyable, interesting, and a useful take on the joy of walking.
