Body
Walking is easy. When exercise is too difficult, people stop doing it. However,
when exercise is too simple, people often enjoy it and continue to do it. Also, easy
activities cause fewer injuries and less pain than strenuous activities. Walking is great
exercise because it is simple and pleasant to do.

Walking is convenient. A person can walk anywhere in the city, country, or mountains.
Many other forms of exercise require special equipment or locations. For example,
swimming requires a pool. Lifting weights requires barbells and benches. Walking can be
done anytime and anywhere without special preparation.

Walking is often done outside. During exercise, the body procedures chemicals
called endorphins and serotonin, which calm stress and make people feel happy.
Scientists found that people who spend time outdoors in nature feel happier than people
who do not. Walking outside helps mental and physical health.
