Walking gets you from A to B

Walking with a purpose saves you time during the day and makes you feel with a higher level of accomplishment than circling a race track.

We are all aware of how these months have influenced our lives, but if there must be some positive aspect and some hope in our every day, it is that we reassured ourselves that being able to go for a walk is like a lifeline. Walking might be a light physical activity but it encompasses a huge mental exercise.
