Walking is the best way to begin the transition from inactivity to activity! In the beginning, we often feel lazy to go to the gym or to do exercise. There is a famous saying by Carrie Latest “Walking gets the feet moving, the blood moving, the mind moving. And the movement is life.” So, the best way to get started is by doing brisk walks every day.
 
There is a very famous saying by Henry David Thoreau, “An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.”
