Walking is Life

I believe the best way anyone can spend their time is by walking. Moving your physical body through the world allows you to experience life more fully. Not only does walking increase vitality, but it also enhances overall health and well-being.

Time Moves Slow When You’re in Motion

The more you move, the more you live. Sitting still feels like slowly dying. Imagine sitting all day long—time passes you by as you remain stagnant. Walking, on the other hand, keeps you engaged, alive, and present.

Walking and Mental Health

Life passes by for those who sit in a state of consumption, and being stationary often breeds misery and depression. Perhaps the greatest way to combat mental health challenges is by moving your body while walking. Don’t let life flash by—get out there and be proactive.

Motivation is in Your Legs

Motivation isn’t just a mindset—it’s in the movement of your body. The more you move, the more you become. The more you walk, the more you see. Every observation offers inspiration, making walking essential in my life. Photography gives me the excuse to stay in a perpetual state of movement.

The Joy of Walking

Photography and walking are my passions, and they go hand-in-hand. Even without a camera, I’d still be out there walking endlessly. There’s something special about moving through the world and finding joy in such a simple act.

Humans Are Bipedal for a Reason

We have two legs for a reason: to move, hunt, farm, and physically engage with life. Yet, modern society has led many to a sedentary lifestyle filled with office work. Remember our true nature as humans and embrace movement throughout the day. If you must be indoors, a standing desk is a great option. I believe all offices should make standing desks a mandatory solution for those doing computer work.

Childlike Fun and Discovery

One thing I love about walking is that it brings discovery. Every day, I find something new, even on familiar paths. Here in Philadelphia, the city’s rich history is a constant source of inspiration. Read the signs, observe historic monuments, and treat each walk as a way to learn something new.

To Walk Is to Be Human

Maybe it’s just me, but sitting doesn’t feel natural. When I get up in the morning and start walking, everything clicks and feels right. Any minor back pains or muscle tension immediately dissipate with movement. For me, the best shoes for walking are the Vibram FiveFinger EL-X. These barefoot shoes strengthen your foundation—your feet. Try them out, and keep on walking!
