    Walking

    Walking is the primary form of bipedal, terrestrial locomotion in humans and other legged animals. Characterized by a gait in which one foot is always in contact with the ground, it is a fundamental human activity with significant evolutionary, physiological, and cultural importance. It serves as a common mode of transport, a popular form of physical exercise, and a recreational activity.
