Walking is good for the heart system, as long as you do it at a slightly brisk pace. Recent results from the Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris show how the ability to manage pace speed is closely linked to heart health .
Beyond the rhythm, how far should you walk ? A data collection made by the Journal of Physical Activity and Health accurately describes the number of steps: men from 18 to 50 should make 12, 000 steps a day, exceeding 50 should reach 11, 000. Women from 18 to 40 on 12, 000 steps a day; 11, 000 for those aged 40 to 50; 10, 000 for those between 50 and 60 and 8, 000 over 60 years.
Walking: how?
Walking means falling into the void with wisdom . In fact, when you move into space, you fall. It is one of the basic principles of any theater laboratory you may have ever done or will ever do. One does not look forward with the foot, at most this happens in classical or modern or contemporary dance, when the tip arrives and then the center moves and all the limbs support the softness made body.
In our daily walking, it would already be a lot to hold the pubis in the presence and to remember that it is the center that moves, not the head.
In our action of giving ourselves to the space we could hold in great consideration the toes, even if they are closed in the shoes, and then find all the possible ways to make them stay active (on the rock at the sea, on the ground when we are at home), perhaps over a tennis ball).
Good walking therefore has a lot to do with learning to fall. Do not sink, do not spoil the forefoot and step back against the asphalt. And it is asphalt, in fact, therefore a surface that is not disconnected and does not stimulate the foot to work by exploiting all the motor intelligence with which it is equipped.

Walking: where?
It would be good to walk in spaces far from too much pollution and maybe land in some park where, if the temperature allows it, take off your shoes and walk barefoot.
There are real walking meditations and it is no coincidence that many sacred places have cloisters. It is no coincidence that the pilgrimage is linked to spirituality and the metaphor of going inside oneself is perfectly aligned with moving even physically, making great distances and finding oneself.
Going through a lot in space also reminds us that we are here for a given time and we go through seasons and days, but in fact we are infinite.
What do you mean? The steps we have taken have perhaps already been crossed, the distance we imagine can contemplate changes of direction that hijack us in the arms of what we didn't even think we needed.
Tips for walking well
Correcting posture defects with yoga or other similar disciplines allows us to better contact the foot support, enjoy the whole roll.
Even finding yourself performing exercises on the ground that are able to give us more familiarity with our sacred bone, with the pelvis everything is fundamental.
Having toned abdominals is also essential to fortify the step and make it precise, to improve posture and ensure a safe and agile "landing".
In general, having great care of the muscles allows us to enhance their function of support, warming and bone protection. The whole step obviously benefits.
