Walk for your Health
A person must be able to walk at least eight to thirteen kilometers a day.

Today, the food can be easily obtained from the local supermarket, and so our movement around the city is also limited, mainly involving going to the nearest bus stops and subways. Residents of cities not even walk two kilometers a day. And well, with the necessary output, they can wander the city and slightly stretch their body too.
