Walking is the simplest thing you can do to improve your health. It benefits your heart, lungs, muscles, and energy and helps to lower weight and stress levels. Walking also increases environmental health as well as our sense of community. When the number of people walking in a community increases, so does the number of social interactions. Cities where people are regularly seen out walking tend to be safe and friendly places to live and visit.
