Walking and Reading

I can't walk and chew bubble gum! One time when I was at work I tried reading something on my way back to my desk. I stumbled on the corner of a box that had been put beside my desk and crashed into the SOLID brick wall beside my desk. As for the reading while riding in a car...nope can't do that either, it makes me dizzy. I think it's because I can see from my peripheral vision everything thats moving outside the car window and my eyes are focused on something that's stationary (stays in one place). I like to read in a chair, laying down, on the potty...just so long as my body is not moving from a point A to a point B while I'm reading life is good.

I am sure that I would run into something or fall off the treadmill! I tried looking at magazines while walking on the tread mill but it wasn't too comfortable to me as my sense of balance gets off some. I have stigmatism and get car sick... I think that's a factor. I prefer a cup of coffee and a big comfy chair! But I'm glad for your dexterity and multi-tasking abilities.

No, I like relaxing and reclining while I read. The exercise I get is in dancing and walking dogs..lol

I do read using mobile internet while on treadmill and even reply or make a post using my touch screen phone. it makes exercise more enjoyable and less boring. I cant exercise without my mobile phone. I need something to take my mind off my exercise so I would not easily get tired on the treadmill.usually I end up doing more exercise when im browsing the net with the use of mobile internet.

In generally we are seeing that the girl is reading in the first floor beside window. The boy is beating sight from outside. This is very funny. But coming to real studies about technical education it is not easy to understand. Better to read in a constant place.

I am more at ease w/ reading while lying down. I would like to try your habit but I think my eyes wont permit me, I am nearsighted and might develop a headache if I combine walking and reading altogether. Anyway, happy reading still! :)

I've been read walking for years. Some people are impressed but I've been doing it so long that isn't such a big deal. Weirdly I'm less likely to trip and fall if I'm reading a book. I even read going up and down the stairs.

Hi. alloftherain. I have not read and walked before. I think that I may trip or lose my balance. I think that is great that you can do all of this all at the same time. I hope that you will have fun!

I have never tried that, reading and walking at the same time. Oh wait, I think I have, but I didn't get too far and I couldn't do it for too long. I did try reading while on the treadmill but the movement got me dizzy while reading I think. Good for you that you hit two things at the same time, no excuse NOT to exercise :)

When I was still studying, I had to do this a lot. Especially during exams, and during the time I had to read volumes. If I'd stayed seated while reading, I'd fall asleep fast.

I don't think that reading when you're walking is good for your eyes. You shouldn't stop it.

I do, and I also do reading on the treadmill, and reading on the elliptical and reading on the bike. the time flies and i burn alot of calories sometimes I lose track of time, which is nice cause we all know how hard working out is! but i'm glad im not the only one that has this habit! I agree other people should try it too, they just might love it!

erm i've tried walking and reading while going to school but it's a bit inconvenient to me. one of my habit is reading while in the bathroom.

Its a big true for me. I always do this too. Its mainly happen to me before the exam night. May be tension is the main reason for this. But its give me a help too.My parents thought intelligent student do reading and walking..........

Hello allyoftherain, Lol, that sounds like fun. I don't have the habit of reading while walking, or walking fast but yes i do have share something similar to you. I read text messages and reply to them while walking. A couple of times i had pulled myself at the right before crashing into something static. With time and experience i have learned how to control myself while i am chatting to my girlfriend via text messages. It is fun and weird, lol. There was this one time when i was as usual gazing into my mobile screen and walking towards a bull! I noticed it just in time, and the bull was looking at me, it turned it's head towards me as i was crossing it, also released a huge puff of air from it's nose while it did that. Wow, i was like, if i had gotten any closer to it, i am sure it would have done something to me. ha ha. Right after i crossed the creature i was again chatting with my girlfriend, telling her my small encounter with a bull and how it intimidated me. Oh c'mon bull i was only messaging my girlfriend, you have no reason to harm me!! :D

I've never tried walking while reading. It's just that I feel I might bump into something and trip over. I think I'm quite like your mom. HAHA! Anyway, that would be fun if I get to have a little bit of exercise while finishing a book I would so much enjoy. I'm just wondering though, would it strain the eyes since you're moving while reading?

You are very intelectual, reading is the best exercise for the brain, congratulations! I don't think I can, the only book that ever made me be addicted actually is Agatha Christie's, I think I walked a little with her book, I love her so much.

Now, I'll have to try this! I really want to get some exercise, but I never seem to find the time (or the will). I really hope I won't break my neck! I'm pretty clumsy myself, but there is an open space in the middle of my room, so I should be all right if I walk in a circle. Though I might get dizzy. I don't have any reading habits that I myself perceive as strange, but I sometimes read in the bathtub or when I'm eating.

That's actually a great way of getting your exercise done. It's less stresful and you can concentrate on reading instead of your legs not being able to walk anymore, haha. I never really tried this before, but I might give it a shot sometime, sounds cool!

Hi,my friend, I must tell u,it's bad for u when u walk and read.It's bad for your eyes. Anyway,I have a bad strange habit.I like reading when I go to the toilet.lol~~~
