Re: Walking - an exercise

I'm afraid that sport orientated people would probably not give a 2nd thought about their surroundings, much preffering to keep their minds on what lies ahead of them.

The focussing aspect of their mind would probably get in the way of taking in, and enjoying the surroundings.

The problem is we are not all of the same mind and what we think should be good for someone would possibly be ignored by them.

Rambling is a very popular pastime nowadays and a lot of youngsters get involved in it. Those that don't will possibly change their attitudes as they get older and take in outdoor pastimes , such as walking, etc.

I have to admit that allthough I played Football, Rugby, Cricket and took part in the school sports days you would never catch me walking anywhere if I could help it. Now look at me. You can't keep me out of the country now.
