I trucked around NYC the past couple days and will be trucking around DC tomorrow at the Book Expo. Lots of walking, but not the same as walking the neighborhood briskly with a friend.

I am fortunate to have the pool to exercise in, there is alsolutely no stress on any part of the body and the experts all say that doing exercise against the weight of water is doubley beneficial, I hope they're right....Isn't there an ocean there near you to walk in?

Usually walk 1-3 miles per session ... sit in the sun a spell and continue on. Hubby & I usually stride along together ... have noticed my age depends on how fast I really want to go. But go I must. It blows out all the cobwebs and stirs my soul for the day. Keep on walking, keep on keeping on!

Misfire Member Registered: 10/09/04 Posts: 83 Loc: Maryland	Wow ... a forum on walking ... maybe it will inspire me to "get back into it". I've been walking for exercise and mental health for years but frequently life interfers with my plans and before I know it, I'm out of the routine. But, inspired by all of you, this AM I went out and walked 27 minutes. Thanks!

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Misfire, good for you. Now go back out this evening and walk 28 minutes. I took one of my longest walks ever last night with a friend. We walked for at least an hour and a half. Boy did we feel great when we were finished. Funny thing. I weighed myself this morning and am down three pounds. Woohoo!

Misfire Member Registered: 10/09/04 Posts: 83 Loc: Maryland	I walked 23 minutes this AM and plan to go out tomorrow morning. The hardest part is getting myself out the door but I know that walking has always worked well for me. I've tried exercise equipment, health clubs, etc., but nothing works as well for me as good old walking. And, it's cheap!

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Anne, sometimes (like when I was just in New Orleans) when I don't know where I am, I'll walk 20-30 minutes in one direction, then back. It works for me. I do that on the beach too. I always have to remember landmarks or else I get lost.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	My granddaughter said to bring my hiking boots, what hiking boots, I'm going up to her chalet on the mountain to rest, lay on the sofa in front of the glass side of the house and gaze out the window, right??? WRONG, she says we will be doing a lot of mountain hiking and climbing. Whoa is me, I may be an old goat but don't want to climb about like one, really!! Oh and her idea of trail food is turkey jerky and water. If no one hears from me I may be dead, probably fell off the dam mountain or starved to death.... LOL, wish me luck!
