Walking is an exercise you can do anywhere and it doesnโ€™t require special equipment. It is one of the easiest ways to get active. 

The benefits of walking are many! 

Where to walk is a serious consideration depending on weather! Inside you can use a treadmill or indoor spaces to walk such as malls or walking tracks (here where I live hockey rinks have an indoor walking track). 

Some prefer outside irregardless of temperatures. There are beautiful scenery and hiking trails and community parks that are beyond spectacular! 

Who are the walkers in this community?? If you donโ€™t currently walk would you like to start?? 

Where do you enjoy walking? What are your walking goals as how many times did how long to walk? (If new start small and increase over time!) 

Do you prefer to walk alone or with others? Do you listen to music ๐ŸŽถor podcasts when you walk? 

Do you track your walking on an app or do you walk at set times of the week or steps daily?  

Do you feel better walking as part of your day to day?

Yusss, walking is amazing and definitely such an important exercise. Thanks for the reflective questions!๐Ÿ˜Š

Where do you enjoy walking?

Park and the campus around! 

What are your walking goals as how many times did how long to walk? (If new start small and increase over time!) 

I don't see these as defined goals, but try doing it everyday!

Do you prefer to walk alone or with others? Do you listen to music ๐ŸŽถor podcasts when you walk? 

Walking alone while listening to some music is so therapeutic!๐ŸŽง

I also walk at home while talking on the phone, eases anxiety plus is another sneaky way of being on the move. Lol, win-win!

Do you track your walking on an app or do you walk at set times of the week or steps daily?  

Depends on the mood hehe, I do track on an app sometimes! 

Do you feel better walking as part of your day to day? 

Yes, a big yes!

How about you, Cheri? ๐Ÿ’›

Great post โค๏ธ

Who are the walkers in this community?? I love walking. Itโ€™s one of my favourite things to do. 

Where do you enjoy walking? What are your walking goals as how many times did how long to walk? (If new start small and increase over time!) Living so close to the countryside has its perks. Thereโ€™s also some lovely parks locally which I like to visit. 

Do you prefer to walk alone or with others? Do you listen to music ๐ŸŽถor podcasts when you walk? I donโ€™t generally listen to music and enjoy walking with others or alone but with my two dogs ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿถ who are great company. 

Do you track your walking on an app or do you walk at set times of the week or steps daily?  I never track my walking but try to get out several times per week, especially in the good weather.

Do you feel better walking as part of your day to day? Every time โค๏ธ
