Description

For years, Jean Béliveau walked from country to country, with the goal of circumnavigating the globe on foot.

So, what exactly happens to your body when you increase your step count? Shannon Odell investigates. [Directed by Avi Ofer, narrated by Susan Zimmerman, music by Cem Misirlioglu].
