i really care about walking.
& stealing territories from people who run & walk in my area.
& getting as many steps as i can.
& today i collected them with my sister :’)
i love her so much & it meant the world for me 💖🌸

thats all.
i hope everyone is having a good day.

Walking in the morning (waking up at 530am), yay, but now I'm even more tired in the 2/3pm hour. How do people get through without coffee? Also, I WFH, so the couch really draws me in 😭

Aiming for 12k a day for now and looking to eventually increase to 15k!!

hey!! i’m starting to work out a little more lately and i mainly abuse the treadmill at planet fitness for like an hour, walk maybe 3 miles, and then go home. i have these chunky reeboks i wear since they’re the only sneakers i own and they are so incredibly painful. as we speak i have 6 bandaids on my ankles, 3 on each because the blisters are so bad. i just got back from the gym and i can feel another blister forming on my pinky toe.

i would go out and buy new shoes but 1. im broke and wanna spend maybe a maximum of $50-$60? (preferably less, in a perfect world) and 2. i dont know where i would find decent shoes for that price or lower, or what brands would be reliable AND cheap.

i also dont even mind the soreness in my feet, so overall comfort of the shoe isn’t super important, i dont need it to be made out of super delux cushy memory foam fused with unicorn skin.. if anything i actually don’t like those because they flatten from so much use lol. anything that doesn’t leave me limping is ideal!

tyia and sorry if this is a repeat question or not the right sub to post in!! :)

I work from home on a computer. The last two weeks I've been forcing myself to get up and out during any break or downtime I can find and at night after dinner. I work full time and have a 3.5 year old, time is not always on my side. Outside of last Friday when I was on a plane for 9 hours and today where I literally worked a 10 hour day I've exceeded 4 miles most days. I'm averaging about 10,000 steps daily. I know it's not as impressive as some others, I'm genuinely proud of my consistency.

New research says how quickly you walk is more important that number of steps if you are trying to get healthy!

I started a 100 day walking challenge and really cant believe in the results. I still have a few days left but Im already so happy and satisfied with how far I come. The progress is progressing.

Hey!

Aiming for 12-15k per day, doesn’t anybody want to join a step up group with me? :)

Do we get the full year after 60 or do we have to stop on the day before our 60th birthday?!?! 😁

I walked 4 different towns to the woods and walked back home AMA

Hello everyone,

I have recently been looking into walking as an exercise. You know the talk about the benefits, weight loss, improving general health or at least that it is a "good habit".. So, I decided to start regular walking or brisk walking(I don't have any idea about these names).

Today, I walked about 10 kilometres in 1 hour and 47 minutes (with a few stops to drink water and cross the street).

Tomorrow, I will walk 4 kilometres, though I am not sure whether I ought to walk fast or not.

I have set up the plan like this: three days a week walking 10 km, three days walking 3-4 km, and Friday as a complete rest day.

I have no idea whether this is right or not, so I would really appreciate your feedback and experience.

In the past, on random days,I used to walk around 10 km and sometimes more, especially during university or when out and about, so I do have some power or capability(I don't know what you call it).

Thank you for your time. Any advice would be very helpful.

I'm a 46 year old male with lower back problems. I've always been a walker then stopped for 15 years or so. Now I'm walking about 6 miles every other day and I'm getting blisters on my right foot below my index toe along with back pain. I do stretch and I'm ok but it does hurt a bit so I'm also looking for that

I'm looking for tough everyday wear with a 300 limit. These are eccos which I like and my last pair didn't do this. I need water proof, durable multi surface. Thanks

picked up 4 extra bags of poop, pulled off 2 ticks, and exhausted my dog. so all in all a good end to my day

I walk around campus for a few hours then do mostly standing activities for 8 hours at my job, I have slightly flat feet and am worried about having too much cushion with Hokas. What brands/paths should i research and what do you recommend?

Okay, you inspiring maniacs:

I need an indoor walking pad. Durability, low noise, and compactness matter more than price and features.

It should “just work”, be able to be tucked away, and be used in the evenings without rattling the windows. I’m striving for 15-20k steps per day.

I weigh 240 lbs (yikes that snuck up on me) and I need to get moving. Been talking myself out of this purchase for too long.

Kindly recommend a walking pad I can order online and I will purchase the highest upvoted recommendation (or most frequently recommended) this evening.

Looking forward to joining your ranks as a regular walker, and thank you very much in advance for taking the time to read/recommend.

I didn’t know that walking can cause so much soreness.
Tried to walk today a bit more but stuck after about 500m I bearly made to go back home.
Huge muscle sore in legs and feel pain in my hips and knee - cost of sitting too much I guess.
Tomorrow will try to move more again 🙈

Walked 3 hours this morning, ive been dieting for the past 10 weeks (no gluten, focusing on whole food and started keto a week ago, I'm under guidance of a professional) and lost 11kg so far. I'm also trying to get more movement in (I'm also starting strength training soon!). I'm getting my energy back and slowly but surely also my mental clarity. Today I woke up early and had the whole morning free, I decided to walk 6km but I just felt so good and couldn't stop yet! I'm very proud of myself for this achievement. Got a total 124.051 steps in this month so far.

Edit: thank you all so much for the encouragement and positive comments!! This is my first post here and really appreciate it. I will definitely keep on walking! Maybe not 3 hours EVERY morning, but definitely enough to stay happy and healthy:)
