CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS. The human being consists of “biological clocks” that regulate the functions of the organism in an optimal way. This optimization is done 24 hours a day, without these “watches” resting at all. Each “biological clock” of our being, sends a “cronos signal” (signal of time) that arrives at all the organs and systems, and to all the cells of the body. That is to say, they carry out a perfect synchronization of all the organs and their respective functions, during every 24 hours; at the end of that period, they reinitiate their synchronous functional operation again, using the 5 external senses, and managing to optimize the functioning of the organism (physical and mental), and that of the operation of all the organs and biological systems of the being.

The positive changes, both organic (the functional, in the production of glandular substances, etc.), mental (ideas, images, thoughts, etc.) and emotional, that we experience while walking, respond to circadian rhythms defined throughout the 24 hours of a full day, according to the schedule in which the walk is made. These circadian rhythms facilitate and regulate the performance of biological activities at a precise and specific time during the day and night.
It should be noted that in this daily and incessant operation, the intensity of the participation of each of the 5 external senses, varies according to the “biological clock” that is operating during the day and night periods, and the activities performed by the individual.
As it is to be supposed, the walks do not have the same effect on our organism, if we carry them out during the day or at night, in the morning (early morning), at noon or in the afternoon.
Walking to the sides (right or left) or doing it backwards, would not be correlated biologically with the circadian rhythm that we execute when we walk normally forward, because we have always done it that way. Circadian rhythms are probably a reptilian part of the human brain.
Without exaggerating this, I could say that just as it is common sense to consider that it is not the same to start walking daily at 20 years of age than at 60, so we can also say that there is a difference in doing so at different times of the day, and it is defined by the circadian rhythms, which are our endogenous biological clocks.
Personally, in this present time, I put into practice the WALK-RWD system, three times a day, in the morning (8-9 am), at noon (1-2 pm) and in the afternoon (5:30-6:30 pm). However, each person, depending on their time availability, should select their program, and experience the daily periods of walking (1, 2, 3, etc.), observing how they feel better and which one gives the best results, in the intelligence, that the effects on circadian rhythms are different when we read, write or draw while we walk.
Let’s match our biological clocks with our daily walk.
