    Default Walking?

    How much walking do you do while in Brazil? Is the weather okay for walking?

    I like to walk. It's one of the best forms of exercise. I like to walk with friends. Sometimes I'll just go for a walk for fun.

    Yeah the weather is suitable. I usually goes around 4-5 km daily while I am in Brazil and sometime much more, as it is also a good form of exercise.

    While in Rio, I regularly walk along the Copacabana beach. It is a pleasure walking through the white sand and cool breeze.

    4-5km walk daily, I can't walk that long everyday but maybe it's my environment here or perhaps I need to do more training.

    I heard you can walk in many parts of the Country. The weather I have been told is quite amazing especially during the Summer time.

    I love walking especially on the beach using my Havaianas slippers. If I remember it correctly, Havaianas are from Brazil right?? Are they selling it more affordable price compared to other countries??

    Default Walking is the best!

    Hello!

    Walking is the best form of transportation especially when you are in a trip. You can enjoy the sights that the place can offer and meet some people in the road where you can chat on while you're in a vacation. Additionally, walking is a good form of exercise and it's good for the body.

    When I'm in a trip, I always look forward in walking on the busy sidewalks of every city that I visit. In this way, I am exploring the beauty of the place and at the same time, I am saving money .

    2. No risk of sparin, fall, accidents
    3. Sweating improves skin health by preventing infections
    4. Get Ultraviolet rays and vitamin D( 6-9am only)

    5. Sweat reduces load on kidneys
    6. Recite or remember the name of God while each step
    7. You can do active abdominal expiration during each step
    8. You do not talk and get the advantages of silence called MAUNA
    9. You automatically avoid gossip.
    10. You go in fresh air and get oxygen
    11. Walkng for small errands saves fuel, expenses and and pollution.
    12. You meet people who walk and there is good public interaction

    I always make certain to have comfy shoes when I go on vacation. Why risk having blisters and not enjoying yourself on a vacation, no less.

    Walking alone is boring. You should be with your family, friends, and special someone

    when you are in the beach, walking is not only an exercise but you also have the opportunity to enjoy the scenery, take pictures and meet new people.

    Brazil is totally beautiful. From it's prevalent customs, traditions, beliefs, up to the scenery, resources and also its people.

    And yes, walking is a good way to appreciate the scenery...

    Quality first. Whatever product you buy, always make sure that it reach a high quality standards.

    Especially for the things that you will use on most everyday. Like shoes perhaps. Having a pair of shoes that is comfortable and you know that you can rely on(in terms of quality) always keeps you on the go.
