NORFOLK, Va. — The list of benefits is longer than any path you may walk.
Mental, physical and emotional: walking provides for the body like you might not expect based on its level of leisure. Those benefits are more important now than ever before.
With a nation yearning for a sight beyond the walls of their living room, walking is a chance to get some fresh air without losing sight of social distance.
With gyms closed and sports banished, walking provides cardiovascular exercise.
Lastly, with a new disheartening headline seemingly every day, a walk provides an escape from the harsh reality in which we all currently exist.
The first activity we all learned, has come in handy now more than ever.
