Born to Walk

Book • 2024
Born to Walk challenges the prevailing notion that running is the optimal form of exercise for health and longevity.

The book delves into the negative consequences of the running boom, including overuse injuries, ineffective weight loss strategies, and the promotion of an unhealthy lifestyle.

It contrasts this with the natural human imperative to walk, highlighting the numerous benefits of walking for both physical and mental well-being.

Ultimately, Born to Walk advocates for a more balanced and sustainable approach to fitness, emphasizing the importance of listening to your body and prioritizing overall health.
