At Walking Pace explains why walking is the unsung hero of our times. It helps readers to gain or regain an understanding of the practical benefits of walking to wellbeing, enjoyment, thinking and resilience. Walking is the most natural means of getting around under your own steam and the only sustained dynamic exercise that it 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 wellbeing 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 summarised the ways that you can use walking in your life. The book also delves into the extra elements that can enhance your experience of walking and the benefits that it brings you; for example, does playing music whilst you walk make a difference, or should you try some problem-solving whilst you are on the move? The book is packed with information from research, observation and the personal experience of the author and others. It is a readable, interesting and useful take on the joy of walking.
