I used to be a software engineer for about thirty years and since then have been a hypnotherapist, coach, speaker and Internet marketer.  Most of us in advanced industrial nations are in sedentary jobs and now-a-days we sit in front of monitors which are bad for our eyes and the EMF (electro-magnetic fields) is potentially bad for our energetic systems.

Ask yourself, "Are you in a sedentry job"?

However, human beings evolved over millions of years of walking and running as part of being hunter gatherers. Even today at least half the people’s population live active lives of farming. In many countries and cities (London and Paris are two that I have lived in) people walk a lot just to get around from here to there. I know in the USA New York is one such city.

But, Los Angeles is an anti-walking city. Often major streets do not have side walks. There’s no public transportation to speak of. What happens in a city like London is that you take the tube to a district and then walk to the store, cinema, theater or wherever your final destination is and then you walk some more on your way back to the underground (London subway system).

But as the song goes, “Nobody walks in LA.”

As I wrote earlier human body was designed through millions of years of evolution for walking and the final hundreds of thousands of years for walking upright. Therefore, it’s not surprising that walking is great for you. Here are some advantages of walking:

• Low impact. You do not damage your joints especially your knees.
• At the same time high enough impact to be good for your bones.
• Uses many muscle groups.
• It burn more calories per mile than running.
• You typically run in good environments like grass, open air, parks.you live.
• Good for your eyes.
• Good from an energetic point of view.
