Its said that walking after supper is good for our health.I dont do that for a long time since its still cold outside.I usually stand for about 30mins after each meals,but I think its better to take a walk.Do you have a habit of taking a walk after supper?Or just do it sometimes?Do you walk alone or with others?I prefer to walk with others.Its nice to have someone to talk while walking.Have a good day.

i don't walk after supper because I'm too busy getting the kids bathed, and ready for bed etc. I was walking every morning for a good while though I stopped when it got cold and just haven't started again. I'm so disappointed in myself. Walking gives me so much and I feel so much better when I'm done. I need to start back like yesterday. Can't use the wheather as an excuse anymore.
Have a great day.

When I was walking, it would take me approx. 40 minutes to walk three miles. I like to change up my speed.. normal to start, then speed walk, jog a couple minutes, then speed walk again. I read changing your speed keeps your heart rate changing and helps loose more weight.
BTW... walking ANYTIME is a good habit. So go when you can. Even if it's 15 minutes at lunch and 15 minutes after work.

I do my walking in the morning, and while I am at work, I am very actice, but as I understand it, walking after a meal is probably very healthy for the digestion, as well as for you body. People should walk more, whenever they can! Have a great day!

I have heard the saying: Walking after supper will make you live until 99. So walking after supper is very important. However, I don't have this habit. I don't think I have enough free time to be so relaxed:) After dinner, sometimes I will wash the dishes. And then I will have a bath. After that, I am busy with my child.
I love China

Thats not good.Do you mean you go to sleep right after your supper?Or just lie down in your bed and do something else?I dont walk often after supper,but I try not to sit down after supper at least for 30mins.lol It can help you maintain a flat belly.

I try to! But I can't say I could do it everyday since sometimes I get off late and it's hard to walk late at night. But sometimes if I get off work early and could finish supper early, I would go down and have a walk, even for half an hour is good *smiles*.

Hello sweetyethot. I love to take a walk after supper together with my wife. We usually walk to my parents-in-law's house to play for an hour or two. Sometimes we also take a walk to the nearby People's Square where a lot of people go for relaxation. We love to go there as there are also some other activities on the Square like singing and dancing. Take care, friend.

I walk every day after dinner. I walk 5 miles. It has taken some time to work up to that. I started out with a mile then gradually increased it until I met my goal. Sometimes in the winter months I will walk before dinner because it get's dark too early but I don't feel near as good as when I walk after dinner

If it is warm outside, it is good to take a walk after meals. The only exception is for people who have liver diseases. I read in a book, for them it is better to lie on bed for half an hour after meals, so blood circulate around the digesting system, instead of going to the limbs.

I have also heard that walking after supper is good for health. I don't usually walk after having supper. But I would love to do that if I have someone with me. I can go jogging even if I have no one else with me, but when it comes to walking I need to have someone whom I can talk with while walking. Otherwise, it would become quite boring. Today after having supper I will try to convince someone to go walking with me .. lol..
