WALKING 101
We, as a species, have achieved a higher degree of sitting on our butts than any generation to precede us. Our sedentary lifestyle is one of the prime causes for the increases of obesity, heart disease and stroke over the past fifty years, and our stress levels have increased in proportion.
We're living in a time where the fast pace seems to be the norm. Our economy-driven, "I need it yesterday" workplace calls for us to be at work for longer hours, with a longer commute, along more congested roadways. The motivation that drives the more-better-faster characteristic of the workplace certainly raises the stress levels and everyone you deal with is looking for instant gratification. We live longer, work harder, learn more and forget more than generations past.
