I love walking. It always helps me relax. I would usually choose walking over riding a taxi or a tricycle. Why do you love walking? :)

Walking helps me ease my mind, it lessen down what I feel. It gives me time to think more when I walk. It also helps us lose weight.

I love to walk too. It helps me to think while I also do something with my body. And I like how the scenary changes and I see different building, different people, different streets. Sometimes I listen to music while I walk, but most of the times I prefer just to listen the town or the nature. I think it helps you to better connect with yourself.

I love walking because cheaper than having a car and taking care of it, makes me feel happy. Love the fresh air, love walking with my dog, I love listening to my music when not raining. It rains here alot. I live in a rain forest.

I love walking along the seashore and in the countryside where I can get fresh air, see picturesque scenery and stretch my legs. I walk my kids to school since it is healthy exercise and it keeps me feeling happy. I don't have to park and it is free. My car by comparison costs money for petrol.

Hello everybody
I absolutely love walking. I walk everyday 1-2 times a day with my dog. Oh yes, I have to stop every once in a while to pick up her (poo), but I enjoy her company so much that I do not mind it.
I think that walking is considered the most affordable and safest form of exercise.
It lets you breathe some fresh air and it gives you the opportunity to see other scenery besides your office or house walls or even the T.V. for that matter. As long as you walk briskly enough, walking can help you burn a few calories. I also enjoy the outdoor scenery with trees, whether they are in bloom or losing their leaves. Personally I do not walk on beaches, near rivers or oceans for that matter because I do not have access to these but I do enjoy trees and even looking at different houses or other people walking.
I also love walking because it relaxes me so much. I just love looking at trees in the summertime but also in the autumn when the leaves are turning the color of the evening sun when it goes down. In the autumn also, you walk in a park or on the sidewalk and you can hear and feel the crunch of the fallen leaves under your footsteps. In the winter, the feel of the snow, the white that surrounds me when I walk gives me energy and boosts up my spirit.
As you can deduce I do enjoy walking so much that nowadays I do not even know which bus to take to go anywhere. On top of that I do not drive and believe me you do not want to see me behind a wheel.
Anyway, thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk about one of my favorite subject, walking and my precious dog.
