Karvika Jain, 24, Interior Designer shares her experience of walking "Walking not only keeps me fit but my body toned up as well. Initially, I use to feel lazy to get up, but after some days I noticed a change. Walking pepped me up and kept me energized throughout the day. I realised walking is one of the few times during the day that I have my own space and time. Team it up with music and I'm mentally refreshed as well." Her tip: "Wearing comfortable sports shoe is not only good for the body but helps in walking as well." |
