Conference held as part of the My Run Day at La Tour Hospital on February 29, 2020. A real medicine for many disorders, walking is a varied sporting activity, easy to practice, and suitable for everyone, from seasoned athletes to those who want to get back to regular activity. In our industrialized societies, new technologies have not only transformed the way we work, they have also profoundly influenced our lifestyle habits by reducing the daily physical effort we practice. In this context, more than a way of getting from point A to point B, walking can and should be a pleasure, all the more rewarding as it improves our health through its daily practice. Supported by solid scientific evidence, the benefits of walking are no longer in doubt. Stimulating weight loss, toning muscles, improving your cardiorespiratory function, improving mental well-being... These benefits are numerous and we are constantly discovering new ones. So it's time to stop considering it as a secondary sporting activity, and take full advantage of this universal sport. Walking, hiking, Nordic walking... Choose what you want, but walk!
