Walking is such an exercise that it keeps one physically and mentally fit. Its usefulness is thus very much great. However, walking is sadly associated with deprivation and poverty in this age of showmanship. People want to show off their material comforts. But they don’t know that leading a simple life has many advantages. For example walking tones up the entire body. It builds up muscles and one remains healthy and fresh throughout the day. Also walking leisurely adds to one’s pleasures because eyes get a treat in various forms and things. One sees people coming and going to and fro. They are seen working in various situations. This keeps the Walker busy. Such a state frees one from tension or worry of any sort. At the same time, the body undergoes both toning and tuning up. A little bit of perspiration causes burning of calories and body fat. This also causes hunger. In short, one feels strength and energy.

Revving up in a vehicle leaves many delights both physical and mental. It wouldn’t be off the point to mention here that people’s inclination towards material comforts has made them victim to many diseases like arthritis, joint pain etc which were unheard of in the past. Walking is a panacea for many such diseases.
