Walking for Health and Fitness

Walking contributes to your health and fitness. Your body is built for walking. Wonderfully made, your body steps, stretches, bends, or extends. Your walking assures your health and provides fitness.

With the sun warming you walking adds to your enjoyment of life. Exercise in the fresh air adds to your sense of well being. You have a more radiant outlook on life. You have the confidence of greater fitness.  This is the reality of enjoying wholeness in mind and body. You appreciate that you walk for health and fitness

Where you walk contributes to your health and fitness. Take a trail along the river where either a leisurely walk or a faster pace allows you to delight in the flow of water.  Hearing water trickle over rocks, or even cascading through a damn, sends your senses soaring as you tramp along the banks. Ducks flying in to make their watery landing and even their seeming run across the top of water as they take off helps you connect with your exercise in the presence of nature. This is the essence of pleasure as you walk for health and fitness.

While your body is designed for walking, health and fitness are your wonderful advantages of this beneficial activity.  You mind captures the sky with its changing cloud formations. A body of water, the river, creek, a pond or a lake, is a source of inspiration to your sense of being complete in health and in knowing you are fit. The trail surrounded by the freshly mowed grass perfumes the air with a pleasant aroma. Majestic trees, some arching over brightly colored flowers strike your eyes as you regulate your walking pace to drink in the sights. Myriads of greens, reds, yellows, blues, and even pinks bathe your eyes as you walk on past feeling healthy and fit.

Or never discount the profit of a hike across a dessert terrain for your health and fitness.  Earth tones and cactus, sand and rocks present a different visual and walking opportunity.  In each case your walking awakens your body to appreciate greater health and fitness.
