Significado
Moving at a high speed on foot.
Contexto cultural
In Istanbul, walking fast is almost a requirement. The city's fast pace means that slow walkers often block traffic in metro stations. In towns like Bodrum or Ayvalık, the culture is much slower. Walking fast might be seen as unnecessary stress. Brisk walking is the most recommended exercise by Turkish doctors for the elderly and those with heart conditions. In the military, 'hızlı yürümek' is part of the training, but it's called 'uygun adım' (marching).
Use for Health
