Prayer Walking
Why not turn your prayer time into exercise? As you walk around your neighborhood, school track, or park trail, pray for your children, mate, friends, neighbors, your church, your pastor, other countries, and even the president and other political figures. In fact, you can create a mini chart and designate certain days for specific people or topics. I have used my walks to pray aloud and to pray in the spirit. Sometimes when my heart feels heavy, I will embark on a prayer walk to turn my burdens over to God. Prayer walking promotes physical and spiritual health.
Meditation Walk
A meditation walk is another way to get your body in shape while building your spiritual muscles. Christian meditation teaches you how to let go of idle thoughts and stay in the present moment or in God’s presence. You will use these same methods during your meditation walk. As you are walking observe your surroundings, the flowers, the cracks in the side walk, the birds chirping, and the trees. Anytime your mind begins to wander off in thought, bring your attention back to your surroundings. You will get the same benefits of a meditation walk as you do during a guided meditation.

I use my workouts as a great way to keep in touch with my God!! He just does so much and I'm so blessed for the ability to get the chance to walk, breathe in the air. Its beyond inspiring to have the chance to get in wonderful shape and have God by my side!0

I'm usually so exhausted as I run that all my time is spent praying for the energy to not give up. As I progress and have some more energy as I run I'll definitely use it as a time for prayer for other things
