I actually took a walk this morning.

I walk because im a city bus rider and often you have to walk a distance to transfer to another bus. Other than that i dont. I do have a bike which i loaned to my grandson earlier this summer. He has his own bike now. They just didnt bring mine back yet. Anyway with the 90 degree and up temperatures i dont really want to. It just zapps your energy.

Good morning GG, walks are good. wish i could still walk, i use to quite abit. I think it's very good for u.

Well walking is a Great form of excercise and can really help with weight as well. The problem is are you doing enough of it to help? Plus if you do not take the time to watch what you eat, that can be an issue as well. Hope you are still doing your walking when you get time. I know I have no choice a lot of the time, and even with my bad leg it may hurt to walk at first but since I am also loosing a little weight that is a little more motivation for me as well.

I haven't been walking lately. It's been too hot. Even in the morning the humidity usually zaps my strength. I noticed this morning when I went out for my dentist appointment, it was actually cool. It's starting to get warmer now as the day wears on, but it sure would have been a good day to walk. Last fall I was a walking machine. I think I wore my dog out. Not so much this year.

I like to walk and don't have a car so I have to do it to get around really, I rely on public transport if I have to make a long journey. As you know from discussion I just got a pedometer and am trying to do 10000 steps a day which is harder than I thought it would be, turns out I was doing nowhere near it. We have a dog to walk as well and taking him our gives me a reason to walk more, it was walking him that pushed the step count up to nearly 10000 yesterday. And today the weather is better so I will walk him again later.

I like to walk, not in the weather we are having here though. I don't like the cold. So I don't walk much during the winter, but enjoy walking when the weather is good. I do workouts with DVD's at home mostly to stay in shape. I don't have much time to do much else. But I love to do what you did and take walks and take photos as I am doing it.

I have to really get into an exercise routine soon. I am unable to lose as much weight as I would like and if I did something as simple as walk I would be able to lose more! Now to find someone to walk with. I believe that is the motivation I need.

I've gained a lot of weight over the last 10 years. First it was a surgery and I could not do anything strenuous for 6 whole weeks. The a job change which left me doing only upper body work. Around this time I got my computer and my partner and I were not getting along and taking the long walks we normally did together. My part-time job of 30 hours a week then changed to 10 hours a week and my osteo arthritis kicked in big time. I'm in constant pain now and movement is difficult especially those days when the pain killers don't work. I've made a couple of little rules like no eating after 9:30pm and I have to get off my derrière to do chores for an hour or so at least 4 times a week as well as getting off it more than usual. I've also stopped buying sweet stuff when I do the shopping...except for maybe one thing. No cake, chocolate or biscuits though. I'm actually losing weight but so far I don't feel any better...there's a h3ll of a long way to go. Good luck to us.

Walking is awesome for people to do. It doesn't matter how fast or slow you go, just doing it is good for you. And if you go in the morning, it so pretty out and cooler. I love to walk and love to go to the parks to walk around. I don't go by myself though, I go with my daughters. I do walk around the neighborhood though, to the bank, to the store. Other than that, I don't do much of any other exercise. I've helped my daughter in her yard this summer, weeding, and planting some stuff which is another thing I like to do. I wish I had a yard to mess around in, I'd be out there all day like I use to do. It's good therapy too, takes your mind off your problems working in the yard. I don't have my car anymore so I'm sort of limited to what I can do anymore...no fun.

I do love to walk and it is for pleasure and fitness. However, I dont get to do it as often or as long as I want. If Im on errands, I prefer to walk and its the kind of prolonged exposure to walking that I love. I am going to start an exercise schedule with my friends. We plan to play badminton twice a week for at least an hour. That way, we get to have fun while being in shape. We have to work around our schedules and fiesta is coming up soon. Aside from my daily routine of helping with the business or around the house, I would also be found in front of the computer.^_^

I usually walk my dogs every morning but for the next week or so I have a boy coming over after school to walk them. I have a problem with the young dog as she tends to just take off and takes me with her LOL So, with him being stronger he can help me teach her right from wrong. I've always walked but when I had my heart attacks exercise was mandatory and I did it anyway so I just walked. Being back in Oklahoma with the heat I haven't done too much walking but went to a garage sale and go a thing called a Power Rider......just an exercise machine. I also bought a DVD exercise DVD and use it at least three times a week now since my son fixed my DVD player:) I am going to town probably Friday and looking for a stationery bike to use in the house when the weather is bad. The dogs can walk themselves around this yard LOL But, yes, I have the heart problem and I do exercise for health.

i love to walk... that is basically the reason why i stopped using the car for almost eight months now... but still have to muster enough determination and will to do walking as a regular exercise... i just get to walk from train station to destination and back... taxi stop to mall and back... inside the mall, shopping or simply window wondering... i also want to go back swimming... those -- walking and swimming -- are the two best exercises we can give our bodies...

Lol if you sit always at the computer, you are sure to gain weight, there may be back pain, waist pain etc, walking or some kind of physical activity is required, swimming, rope jumping, working in garden, even walking inside your room, you may try.. Have you ever tried the breathing exercises as taught by Ramdev Baba of india? Professor. . Cheers have a great day ahead. God bless you. Welcome always. Thanks for this discussion

GG,taking a walking in the morning is a nice exercise to keep fit. But i'm a lazy girl, and can not get up at 6-7 am. So jogging in the morning is impracticable. While i love playing badminton twice a week for 2 hours each time.

My husband goes for a walk every morning now that he's unemployed. There are a group of Veterans that hang out at this one place. I execise with fit tv because the heat, rain, and bugs hav e been so bad. Sometimes my husband ends up driving because it's raining too much.

I need to get more fit, I don't walk or do anything like that anymore. I used to walk more, but after I quit my job three years ago and then got another job last year and got laid off, I've just not been moving around.. bad bad I know.

I haven't gone for a walk in awhile. I was doing it a few times a week in the spring and early summer.. but now I'm getting lazy and just want summer to be over with so I'm not enjoying the summer weather so much. I was walking just for something to do really. I go to the gym a few times a week so I don't need to walk for fitness.

I do enjoy taking walks. Usually, I take walks for my own pleasure rather than for fitness. I find that it's relaxing and pleasant to go for walks.

Hi,GardenGerty! I work in my yard from almost 9 years(I have a little business at my house).And my work is so hard that I don't need to do fitness or something like that lol!Sometimes,in the summer,I go with my daughter to pool and swim.Oooo..it's so nice there!I like swimming,but in our town isn't a pool for winter ha ha ha! Have a nice day,GardenGerty!

I consider walking on my way to work is a little form of exercise, but I also attend tae-bo sessions then jog a bit in the afternoon at least twice a week. but i've been busy at work, so I didn't have much time for that lately. I wish to enroll in a dance class...I enjoy working out through dancing...
