Did You Know?
About 60% of your walking cycle is spent with a foot planted on the ground (stance) and the other 40% swinging through the air (swing). Speed up or slow down, and that ratio barely shifts, it's one of the more consistent things about human gait.
In Japan, shinrin-yoku, or "forest bathing," is a recognized practice of slow, deliberate walking through forests, studied for links to lower cortisol and blood pressure. It's not about covering distance, just paying attention while you walk it.
