5 Great Benefits of Walking You Don’t Want to Miss

Since moving to a new country I was forced to walk a few miles up and down the hill every day and considering the lack of appetite in a hot climate I surely have slimmed without any effort. I also still haven’t joined the gym and when do eat, I don’t weigh my food or count the calories. I also noticed that even tourist destinations don’t have sidewalks anymore. No one walks from their home to wherever ghey need to be, everybody rides some kinds of transport and rarely it’s the one like a bycicle, which requires a physical effort from you.
