Do you go on walks?

[milksheikh]

Anyone here go on some walks? I sometimes go for walks or run through my neighbor hood. I love running a few miles, which can help grow my running stamina, etc.

Walking is one of the best exercises a person can do. It exercises your whole body and does not stress out your joints. Unfortunately, it is too boring for me. I prefer to get on my bike.

I also like riding on my bike, I think its a great exercise. But it gets hard when you are trying to go up hills. It is even hard when you have a mountain bike, but mountain bikes do help though.

I actually love walking!

I can walk up to 10-15 kilometers a day.
I don't like running, but I like walking.

I usually go for walks to stores to pick up Milk, or to the Gym or general errands (banking, opticians, etc). Luckily I live in a town where walking is easy to do.

It is great to know that you go to store on feet and not by car. People should ditch cars for local shopping and just walk!

I go for a walk daily, since I dislike running and like to enjoy the scenery around the neighborhood.

I was never much of a walker, but I really need to get back into shape!

If you want to get back into shape, you need to start jogging or running. You can also try weight lifting.

Walking is not good enough, in my opinion.

Walking burns less calories than running but it still burns quite a lot!

Thanks for the link. Walking is supposed to burn less calories than running, because you put in less effort.

Yeah, it is also easy on the joints compared to running. Also, you will not get tired as easily so you can go for longer.

It is definitely easier on joints, that is why old people may prefer to walk rather than running.
