It could be beach, forest or riverside. Just ensure that the location, you choose to walk is safe, free of polluted and that the air is fresh. Walking on the sides of highways and busy streets can much more harm than the benefit which a walking can give you. Preferably work on a firm surface as it gives steadiness for you to carry yourself. Walk at the time when the pollution in the atmosphere is the lowest. Air pollution data shows that is, the city air pollution is at its peak till around 7:00 AM. The pollution reduces when the sun comes out. Ideal time for walking is between 7:00 to 10:00 AM and from 4:00 PM to sunset.
