Walking

[InMyOpinion]

It's great. I am agoraphobic and don't like being amongst people.

Well I guess that works for you =)

I walk my dogs 3-4 times a day. Sometimes, we go down a trail or to the field across the street from my place.

Sometimes, but I haven't done a whole lot of it recently.

I feel like I should get back into the habit!

Do you ever go for a walk? (for exercise or just to get out of the house)

Where do you walk to?

I do, but I hike instead.

HIke 4 miles today on 3 different short trails.

Yesterday, I participated in the Gnome Roam Challenge at a local state park. My wife and I hiked seven trails to find gnome cutouts and earn a free patch at the end. It was a lot of fun!

Which park?

Giant City State Park in Illinois.

Here's a little writeup I did about it with some pics: https://thehikingforum.com/threads/the-gnome-roam-2024-2025.202/

That's WAY down in Southern Illinois.

I want to go camping down at Garden of the Gods, which isn't quite that far down, and a bit further east.

If I didn't have disabilities that included awful balance, I'd happily walk more. I live in a nice neighborhood where people regularly walk, often with their doggos. I love seeing doggos!

There are all sorts of conditions that can affect balance; (I call my problem a "broken gyro" ) some can greatly benefit from pro. physical therapy. Whatever is causing your balance problem might be one of these 'conditions'??

I always walk 30 minutes every day in my house.

I also walk another 30 minutes while teaching in the classroom.

I go out for a walk whenever I want to... but even when I do, I sometimes have my camera on me in case I see anything interesting wherever I go

Still not walking, but one day, that could be me

I have been really frustrated with myself for not managing to walk regularly, once in a blue moon doesn’t count.
It’s not about weight loss, it’s about my health, but I just haven’t made it happen. My skin issues, which the weather often makes worse, have been a real problem.
I’m hoping to get a cheap treadmill soon. That way, the weather won’t be an issue anymore, and if I don’t stick to it, it’ll only be because I’m being lazy.
