WHAT IS REQUIRED TO BE A GOOD WALKER?

It is you who is deciding to do the walk because you like it and know that it will help you in various ways and senses.

The reason for this, the fundamental thing is that it is undeniable that for the mind to flow better the body must be in good condition, and what better than walking enough. The body is the support of the mind: Mens sana in corpore sano.

This phrase has been used since ancient times until today, representing the indissoluble health binomial between body and mind.

And there is no doubt that walking is one of the means to comply with this maxim. Walking is healthy.

Let us then comment on how we can be a good walker.

As we have already mentioned in writing ALTERNATE VARIETIES IN THE TYPES OF WALK, there are several ways to practice walking, and all of them can be applied within the WALK-RWD system, with the fulfillment of certain characteristics that obey the type, the place, the equipment, and other elements for its practice and development. But regardless of that, the results are almost identical.

The qualifier “good walker” we use it in two scenarios. One of them, just as important as the other, is that it serves us as an effective and safe exercise, giving adequate results to improve our health, both preventively and correctively.

The other scenario is to make us like or passionate about walking.

As I said, both have the same hierarchy in importance and, if one of them fails the other could not be achieved. They are co-responsible and corresponding.

My personal experience about feeling the pleasure of going for a walk I mentioned in several previous posts, and fundamentally supported by the 3 structured activities within the WALK-RWD system, however, a subtle organization is also required to go for a walk and the condition physical and mental disposition to develop the variety of walking that we like to do.

The numerous benefits that we have mentioned, generated by walking, are enough to be a good walker.

However, these scenarios of health achievement, or that of the combination with reading, writing and drawing, are sometimes not enough to be passionate and motivate us to walk.

We know that walking is good for our physical and mental state; it prevents diseases, corrects them, and we can also improve our behavior and attitude towards society and within our work.

Anyway, my experience tells me that with all that knowledge we have about the activity of walking, which drives us to do so, it would be enough to transform us into an excellent walker. However, a high percentage of people do not feel like doing any type of walk. Let’s transform into a good walker. But how?

I will not repeat what I mentioned in the previous posts, about how to motivate ourselves to walk.

I will mention on this occasion 5 conditions by which some people are unable or unwilling to go for a walk:

1. That you have suffered an accident that prevents you from walking

2. That he is bedridden by a surgical intervention.

3. Suffering from angina pectoris, arterial hypertension or coronary stenosis

4. Arrhythmias with great difficulty breathing

5. High fever.

 

If you are not in any of these circumstances, then: What do you expect to do your walk?

Let’s not expect a medical prescription that prevents us from walking or being in a situation like the previous 5, to tell us how would I like to go for a walk! I would love to go for a walk!

Let’s get moving, because the good walker is achieved by walking.

Enjoy and have fun walking to be a good walker.

The daily adventure can be achieved by good walkers, who are those who walk every day.

The good walker is achieved through the awareness that he is not immersed in the 5 negative circumstances we have just listed, and that he can enjoy an outdoor walk, hic et nunc. (See writing THE “HERE AND NOW” WITH THE SYSTEM).

If this awareness manages to repeat it daily, for a whole month, it will have managed to be a good walker.
