I recently found an app that got me thinking. ‘City Walk‘ divides your city into sectors, with your goal being to walk all the sectors in your city. There are fancy leaderboards and your progress is magically tracked by your phone and gremlins in the sky.
I think City Walk is a fun idea. I’ve lived in a Seattle suburb for 20+ years and City Walk got me thinking about walking my city. All of it. I can get a city map and walk different areas each week or month, marking off the completed areas.
Walking is a great way to learn an area. You might drive a route every day, but you see different things when you walk. You notice things that are overlooked when you’re speeding through life.
Walking has so many benefits…
Want to escape your busy life? Walk. Want to lose weight? Walk. Want to decrease stress? Walk. Want to solve problems? Walk. Want to reconnect with nature and your community? Walk.
It’s simple, free, and available to all. Walk your way to better health and well-being.
One street at a time.
How about you? Have you walked your city?

I have a set of cards my family bought me when I first moved to town two years ago. The cards are 50 Walking Tours of my city. I’ve done almost 20 without even trying. It’s a great way to learn a city.
Walking everyday and your heart beat like a music. Walking for better health.
