Virtual Walks

@soulkissed2003 So you sit at home on your computer or do you actually physically walk somewhere?

@soulkissed2003 That sounds interesting and a great way to stay in shape.

They can be a virtual version of a charity event, like a 5K for cancer. Or there are various companies that let you pick out a location or a medal that you like, and sign up for a walk. They have all different distances and locales. Myles is a fun one and it's free to use that one. It's like you get a little glimpse of someplace new.

Ah all the interesting theme. I like it how you set themes based on where you are going.

For that one, the app did set the race on a course in France, but it was much shorter and not on the same track as the actual Tour de France. I like longer virtual walks because they are challenging. But it is still fun! Right now I am doing a Shark Week themed walk and it is set on the coastline in Hawaii. So as I add my mileage into the app it shows me where I would have stopped if I was actually in Hawaii on that path. Some people dress up or find a themed t-shirt or something to either do their walks or to take a photo in when they get their medal in the mail after they are done. I haven't done that yet.

See some of my previous replies. If you have any questions I will try to help. :)

@soulkissed2003 oh okay. maybe I can try to look for some here

There are companies that offer this. Myles is one that is free. I started searching for different virtual walk companies on Facebook to find some good ones. MedalMad is another. I am not affiliated with any of these companies, just someone who enjoys doing the races. You can pick a virtual walk that you like -- maybe the medal looks cool or it's a location you'd like to explore virtually. You pay the company and usually they ship the medal once you finish the walk.

Thank you for the welcome!

@soulkissed2003 Today i completed my virtual walk through it was not very long but i enjoyed it. I guess it was for women safety or something like that, will try more of it from now on

I look forward to hearing back from you once you try one! They are a lot of fun and great motivation! Even my kids enjoy doing them.

Thank you!

I like using a variety of companies. There are quite a few, and as someone else commented you can find videos on YouTube to do for fun as well, that others have recorded on their walks.
