Why Do We Walk?

 We walk to get things done
 We walk because it has it’s own benefits

each foot in turn, never having both feet off the ground at
once.

POSTURES
Posture is how you hold your body the right way, whether you are
moving or still. There are two types of postures:
Dynamic posture is how you hold yourself when you are moving, like
when you are walking, running, or bending over to pick up
something.
Static posture is how you hold yourself when you are not moving, like
when you are sitting, standing, or sleeping.

TYPES OF WALK
First off, there are five types of walking: Intermittent, Strolling, Fitness, Power, and Race.
Digging a bit deeper, psychologists in the late 1980s determined there are two kinds of walking styles — the
more youthful vs the older style. They called these Swing or Sway.
According to some sources, our walking styles can reveal quite a bit about our personalities. One study goes so
far as to say that a “faster pace is linked to higher levels of conscientiousness, and openness, and lower levels
of neuroticism.”
Also There are people who are physically challenged or handicapped. They have their very own special way of
seeing the world as well how they move within this world. Some may find it offensive to take help when offered
from regular people.

Thinker
These are the dreamers, lost in their
thoughts. Not distracted by noises, lost
in their own reality. Walking for them is
equal parts physical and mental
exploration.
Dragger
A person who drags their feet is
thought to be less energetic, perhaps
sadder, and usually more lethargic.
Someone who carries the weight of the
world on their walks and has a difficult
time detaching themselves from their
work and worries.
Stamper
The heavy stepper or stamper can be
heard as much as seen. These
walkers are thought to be short-
tempered and childish.
Confident
Old Person
Handicapped
Cautious

Easy Goer
Everyone’s favorite walking
companion. They take things as they
come, fast or slow, stroll or stride,
explore or amble. Nothing seems to
faze them, but they are also aware of
their surroundings
Fast & Slow
Fast walkers walk fast. These are the
go-getters, the achievers, the planners.
Confident and energetic, ready to take
on whatever life brings. Slow on the
other hand represents sadness,
calmness.
Cyber Walkers
With the advancement of civilization
their walking styles have evolved.
People these days are often seen
looking at their smartphones while
walking on the street.
