WHY WALKING IS IMPORTANT
by Venus P. Garcia
Did it ever occur to you why some people are making a fuss over walking? Of course, you won't believe it, yet. People these days are not keen about walking, per se. But if it's about getting perfectly fit and looking smashing in that outfit that you saw online or worn by a favorite celebrity. An outfit that shows a perfectly toned body, where all the right curves fall into place --- that's another story!
Yes, everyone, if not for most of us, want to see ourselves looking great in a wardrobe that flatters not just our best features and hides our flaws, but makes us very attractive! This is the reason why popular online sites show models or would-like-to-be celebrities in their sexiest form, as portrayed through visuals and dances.
Who doesn't want to see pleasing features? I, for one, would like to watch movies where the main characters are pretty and nice-looking or what they say, pleasing to the eye. And how do you attain that? By becoming fit and studying the right grooming techniques! Which we will tackle in another topic in the future.
So, the first step is finding ways to achieve this goal. How do you do it? By setting a time for achieving that goal! So, when you finally decided that this is the right time to start this habit, you start to think where you will do it? Does it have to be in a gym? Not always the time. What if you're broke or you're not broke, but you just need or there's an urge to save money. This is where creativity sets in!
You don't need a gym to get fit. You can be resourceful by using what you already have. During the pre-pandemic times, I already have a pair of dumb bells and some sand weights which I use on a regular basis for my work out, so I don't need new ones. Extra savings on that! I cannot buy a treadmill yet since it will eat so much space and I need to shell out some cash to have one. Practically, I incorporated walking into my regimen, I started exploring the parks and walkways in my area. Yeah, it's nice to use the side walks near large establishments like universities and hotels. I'm so lucky that a local university is just a stone-throw away from my place. But the most interesting part is that I also happen to be close to some local hotels in my area.
Some spots that are conducive to walking or even brisk walking are nearby walkways near hotels in Manila. Check out these pics that I took last night...
