In today’s column, I explore an exciting new documentary entitled “Walk Me” that does an extraordinary job to discover the keystones of walking. Yes, simple daily walking is a kind of hidden treasure. You probably had thoughts occasionally about the importance of walking about exercises that can materially improve your physical well -being. It turns out that walking also also benefits your thinking processes and a sense of mind. Walking is a body of the body and the mind.
Fortunately, I am able to do a lot of walking for work and game, such that I have carefully intertwined the use of that of modern days in my standing efforts on a professional basis and focused on leisure.
Let’s talk about it.
This analysis is part of my continuous coverage of the most recent forbes column in various influential uses and applications of it (see link here).
“Walk with me” is a gem
Readers can remember that I had previously discussed a incentive documentary entitled “Life on Wheels” that provided a quick, easy to watch and provocative analysis of the mobility revolution, which closely matched my cover Extensive at Advent in Advent for self-driving cars based on it, see the connection here.
The same Topnotch filmmakers, namely the seasoned and well-known duo of David Hodge and Hi-Tijin Kang Hodge, have recently posted their latest documentary “Walk With Me” in Amazon in the link here, and is once again one Fantastic examination of a essential social theme – the act of walking. The 57-minute attractive film is an eye opening for culture, architecture, infrastructure, physical/mental aspects and a number of other factors that influence if we are encouraged to go by walking or discouraging this.
According to the summary of the official documentary, this is the essence of the film:
- “Walk with me” follows director David Hodge as he moves from a car -backed American city to a walking Scandinavian. Along the way, he relates to a former mayor, a doctor, a neuroscientist, urban planner and a tracker of wildlife, exploring the deep personal, social and political influences of walking – and his ability to transform life. “
What may have been a series of dry facts about walking is energized and personalized following the journey of relocation from a lifestyle for the predominance of cars in that it is mainly based on walking. If you spend your days traveling in traffic, as I have done for many years, there is an undoubtedly repeated noise at the back of your head that there should be a better way to live.
Walking fits that bill.
By resonating with the audience
A shocked irony stressed in the film is what I have similarly experienced. Here it is. When I was young, I grew up in a very walking community. I walked to school, library, local parks, grocery store and other local sites. But I wanted to one day pick up my driver’s license and have real linen.
Behold, as soon as I started driving, I thought freedom had arrived. Then, my adult life led me to routinely riding about 2-3 hours a day. Disputable vehicles, bumper-in parakolp traffic, road rabies, etc. This was not what I thought it should have looked like freedom.
Now, I’m lucky to live and work in a bar that used my car mostly once or twice a week, and the rest of the time I walked. In some sense, true freedom is walking, rather than driving.
Learning of life learned.
He enters the world of walking
Going beyond the film, you can find interest in how I have included the use of him on my daily trips. You are required to consider the approval of similar practices if appropriate for your personal preferences. I will describe at one point my approach.
Some may immediately oppose that any use of it should be used when walking. The usual argument I hear is that walking must be a completely natural action that is not charged by interventions such as listening to music or podcast. If you are going to walk, then, from Gosh, walk. Do not be confused by walking with tools and gizmos.
Hey, this is completely good for those of you who take that purist attitude. I believe there is room for other views when it comes to walking. The essential is that if you decide to use different added apparatus, do not allow this to be removed on your own. Keep your eyes and ears open. Look at what you are doing.
Stay firmly located in the real world so that you and the real world can go significantly.
Ten great uses of him to walk
Here are the ten main ways I use to walk:
- (1) Preparation. Using it to prepare you to walk.
- (2) informative. Using it to inform you about your surroundings while walking.
- (3) Guide. Using him to lead you while you are walking.
- (4) entertainment. Using him to have fun while walking.
- (5) Educate. Using him to educate you while walking.
- (6) Talk. Using him to get involved in the conversation while walking.
- (7) Many tasks. Using it to do other tasks while walking.
- (8) tracking. Using it to follow and analyze your walk.
- (9) Review. Using it to review after traveling to your walk.
- (10) inspire. Using him to inspire you to make more walking.
Let us briefly discuss those obvious practices.
Walking along with him
First, I usually get into the generating through my laptop before starting a foot effort.
I ask him for suggestions and tips for the geographical area where I will walk. Please be careful that not all generating applications are connected in real time online in terms of the opportunity to look for the latest status of an area. Thus, by asking he can take you nothing more than an empty look depending on which he is using.
There is also a rare chance for him to encounter a so -called hallucination he, which includes the confabulatory or creating something that is false, see my discussion in the connection here. Theelli is that whatever he tells you, always review the result for factual accuracy and if he shows a common sense in response.
Next, after being developing with my standing activity, I use the generator through my smartphone for fiery interaction on the go.
Most of the latest apps of he will allow you to talk orally with him, similar to the use of Alexa or Syria. This is useful so that you do not need to keep your smartphone and press on the keyboard. Instead, I just talk to him. This also keeps my eyes free to see my surroundings, plus my hands are free in case I have to rely against something or catch myself if I start stolking (okay, be clear, not stumble – I’m just saying if it would happen more and more, I would be ready for it).
What do my conversations with him include?
Well, seriously, everything I want to talk about.
Can it be something of an educational element such as how did Abraham Lincoln appear with his famous Gettysburg address? Or maybe I’m looking for a competition of trivia and I get him to ask me questions about offbeat threads. Another option is to tell him about some ideas I have for a new invention and get immediate reactions to mentally chew.
In general, this is far from listening to music or a podcast. These are passive actions. My use of him is a conversational and attractive mental, turning him into a walk partner.
Walking in cities is a harsh load
Some final remarks for now.
The sad state of misery for walking is that some cities these days are especially walking. You should go to a desert area to get any essential walking under your belt. Arrival at that local is obliged to require driving, perhaps a lot of driving. Ugh.
Fortunately, the documentary “Walking with me” identifies ways that cities can potentially become more walking.
It is definitely likely to be a long order to take advantages embedded to give the day time to walk. You see, it takes a village to move and transform a city with low walking into what supports and arches the act of walking. The interested parties must first know the value of the walk. Many are probably stuck in the widespread mentality for driving and have not thought much about the extraordinary benefits that gather cities on foot.
One may remain hope and optimistic that the future will give him a fairer chance. In the meantime, I will continue to talk to him as I undertake my walks. I’m sure he can help find a suitable way to make our society a promoter of fans claimed to walk.
This is a key example of him for goodness and he is a supporter of mankind. I think you can say so nicely that he walks with me.
