 are more relying on

 than ever.

 over walking even though they travel to somewhere within a walking distance.
Besides
, with the advancement of technology,
people
 would rather glue their eyes to the computer screen or mobile screen for a long period of time than go out or do outdoor activities. They spend long hours sitting in front of their work desk and computer and they have low motivation in going out after work and seldom do walking exercises. When they walk, they may find that it is difficult and they may easily get fatigued

 problem, both
government
 and schools can take several steps to increase public awareness of
