In our fast-paced, technology-driven world, we often neglect the simple pleasure of walking. We rush from place to place, glued to our screens, missing out on the myriad benefits that walking offers. In his thought-provoking book, "Perfect Motion: How Walking Makes Us Wiser," acclaimed author Richard Askwith explores the profound impact walking has on our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Chapter 1: The Physiology of Walking

Askwith begins by delving into the physiological benefits of walking. He explains that walking is a low-impact, full-body exercise that engages multiple muscle groups and improves cardiovascular health. Regular walking can reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer. It also strengthens bones, improves flexibility, and boosts energy levels.
