Japanese walking, often characterized by a smooth, efficient gait, emphasizes posture and mindfulness. Known as "aruku" or "sanpo," it's often practiced as a form of light exercise and stress relief. Key elements include maintaining a straight back, engaging core muscles, and focusing on the present moment. Unlike some Western styles that prioritize speed or power, Japanese walking prioritizes balance, grace, and a connection with the surrounding environment, making it a popular and accessible activity for all ages and fitness levels.
