Walking is beneficial in many ways: good, steady physical exercise that does not force the body or jar it as jogging does; it is relaxing mentally; does not require much more equipment than suitable footwear - unless you are going on long walks in remote country or on high hills ; can be meditative, if you walk alone and take in the scenery around you; or sociable if walking with a companion or group.

On being meditative, the composer Ludwig van Beethoven enjoyed walking in the countryside, and though this was relaxation from his work, he carried a notebook and pencil so he could jot down any musical ideas that came to him in the rural peace.
