This is very anecdotal, but recently I moved to live a 15 minute walk from my office. Since the car keys went away and the walk to and from the office was introduced, I feel much healthier and happier.
Now it could be that I moved, so there are certainly possible external factors that are not the walk, but I really do feel it is the walk that is the major contributor to my days feeling so much better.
I've even found myself justifying silly things to myself just to keep the walk up. For example, the other day I was running late but I still wanted to walk. Walking in and not being late was impossible, so I caught a taxi into the office, just so I could walk home without worrying about leaving my car behind.
Walking is great.

- wolfhumble 11y ago“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.” ― Søren Kierkegaard http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/336809-above-all-do-not-lose-your-desire-to-walk-everyday http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/336809-above-all-do-not-lose...
- atmosx 11y agoHelps me think. Seriously, taking a walk is the best way to form a strategy over how to tackle a specific problem, what to chose in this or that circumstance and so forth.
