BANGALORE: Birds are meant to fly, human beings to walk and run. Though common sense as well as sport research increasingly highlight the benefits of walking, it is still a surprise to learn that 24-year-old Chris Thomas, an obese 120 kg at one point, shed a humongous 27 kg in six months by merely walking.

Chris, who runs his own software company, has a simple routine. He walks for two hours each in the morning and evening, daily. He also practices yoga and aerobics on some days. He doesn’t have any particular diet and eats both non-vegetarian and vegetarian food.”I like experimenting with food. I don’t diet. The only thing I do is to walk.”

Though concerned about his obesity, Chris never consulted any doctor about it. He just decided to walk. “I am 24 but I used to look 45. I did not like it. I started my career very early and I realized that obesity is a combination of problems which includes lack of physical activity and bad diet,” he says.

I'm not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of falling. I'm not scared of the dark, I'm scared of what's in it. I'm not afraid of love, I'm afraid of not being loved back.
