问题    Walking is a great way to get in shape without breaking the bank (it’s free and you can do it every day). But there are other benefits to this exercise that you may not have realized. Here are some fun facts to encourage you to lace up your walking shoes.    In his book, The Lost Art of Walking, Geoff Nicholson praises the virtues of walking, and explains how and why we walk. Besides providing physical, psychological and social benefits, this simple, free activity can transform your life, he suggests. In his opinion, walking can promote good health, keep you mentally refreshed, allow for social bonding and let you see the world around you.
   From a health perspective, walking is the key to managing weight, controlling blood pressure, and reducing the risk of a stroke, breast cancer, diabetes (糖尿病) and other diseases. A brisk daily walk lengthens your life, decreases the risk of depression and improves your mood and sense of well-being.
   From a psychological viewpoint, walking offers an opportunity to clarify thoughts, to solve problems and to reduce stress. If you establish a rhythm that is relaxing and peaceful, walking can also become a form of meditation (思考).
   Walking regularly with someone else enables a friendship to blossom as the pair of you exercise. You can also schedule regular walk "dates" with your spouse or partner and use the time to discuss issues without distractions.
   Also, the best way to explore some of the world’s great cities—such as New York, London, Paris and Rome—is on foot. Walking stimulates the senses and enables you to enjoy a rich engagement with life around you. According to Nicholson, the poet William Wordsworth toured round the world seven times during his lifetime. Wordsworth reputedly delighted in the simple truth that "going for a walk is an invitation for surprise". [br] Walking is a good way to do exercise and it is also______.
