	Walking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Walking is the main form of animal locomotion on land, distinguished from running and crawling.
		Walking is generally distinguished from running in that only one foot at a time leaves contact with the ground: for humans and other bipeds running begins when both feet are off the ground with each step.
		In some countries walking as a hobby is known as hiking (the typical North American term), rambling (a somewhat dated British expression, but remaining in use because it is enshrined in the title of the important Ramblers' Association), or tramping (the invariable term in New Zealand).

	Walking - Henry David Thoreau - Free Online Library
		But the walking of which I speak has nothing in it akin to taking exercise, as it is called, as the sick take medicine at stated hours--as the Swinging of dumb-bells or chairs; but is itself the enterprise and adventure of the day.
		We would fain take that walk, never yet taken by us through this actual world, which is perfectly symbolical of the path which we love to travel in the interior and ideal world; and sometimes, no doubt, we find it difficult to choose our direction, because it does not yet exist distinctly in our idea.
		We walked in so pure and bright a light, gilding the withered grass and leaves, so softly and serenely bright, I thought I had never bathed in such a golden flood, without a ripple or a murmur to it.

	::Cardiovascular - WALKING::
		Walking is a great cardiovascular exercise and is often preferable because of its simplicity, low risk of injury, and adaptability to busy schedules.
		Begin each session by walking at a low intensity for 5-10 minutes (warm-up) and then stretch your calves, quadriceps, hamstrings, hips, and low back muscles (refer to the WF Flexibility Training component for the principles and techniques of stretching).
		That is, when beginning a walking program, be more concerned with increasing the number of minutes of the exercise session before you increase the intensity, by increasing your speed or walking hilly terrain.
