Fast walking: fitness within everybody's reach
Walking is the very first child's achievement. Running, an innate instinct, instead.
If running requires a basic athletic training, concentration and discipline, fast walking is really within everybody's reach and represents the latest fitness frontier for those who cannot stand gyms, training plans and technical garment and wish to loose weight or stay fit . As a matter of fact, fast walking doesn't imply any unnatural movement and cannot cause any harms.
If you walk, you carry out an ideal workout. Walking is an elixir of life and implies a 360 degrees sport activity. Muscles, bones, nervous system, cardio activity and vital parameters benefit from it: a regular 30' walk a day is a good prevention weapon to skip both minor aches and serious ones such as high blood pressure, dangerous cholesterol (LDL) and degenerative deseases ( Alzheimer, osteoporosis) in the older days.

A little wisdom pill ( just once, we won't bother you again!)
Walking you learn how to live
walking you know people
walking, you heal the wounds of the day before
walk, staring at the stars, listening to a voice,
following other steps' tracks.
