Most of my exercise is simply walking. Either in my neighborhood, a park, a country road and/or Leslie Sansone DVDs. How are you folks logging your walks? Thanks.

I walk outside a ton. When I do that, I sometimes use MapMyFitness or Nike+, but sometimes those apps don't like to work for me.
I take note of what time I start walking, and what time I stop. Then I go online when I'm home, and input my walk into Google Maps to see how many miles I walked. Since I know how long I was walking, I can easily find out my mph. Then I log it under "Walking 2.5 mph" or whatever my mileage was.
A lot of times on the weekend, my husband and I go for a nice long walk and we try and find a new restaurant for a cheap lunch. I didn't even realize we'd walked 4 miles yesterday because I was so busy talking!0 -
My Fitbit does it for me!
There are calculators online too though against which you can check figures if they seem dubious.0 -
Lots of ways to log and challenges with other walkers.

download mapmywalk and it will tell you how far and calories burned (this only works if you actually leave your house, doesn't work if you do videos). i also highly recommend the polar ft4 heart rate monitor that tells you exactly how many calories you burn.0

Hi, I'm Nancy. I'm back exercising after recovering from an illness. I walk outdoors when weather permits. This winter I started back on the treadmill at the gym. Being 70, I go for 40 minutes at various speeds. Outdoors I just walk 40 minutes. I'm starting on weights in two weeks. I know it seems silly at my age but I feel so much better when I'm more in shape.0

it's not silly! you need to feel good at any age! good for you for getting back at it0
