Well anyone walk the mall for exercise. I was at our mall just shopping and checked my steps later I've walked more than yesterday in park that's a mile round. I really didn't realize that. Cool

    Not regularly, but when the weather is bad I will sometimes run to a mall or Walmart to do some shopping and make a point of walking around the mall or up and down the aisles!

    I love to walk in any store. I make it a habit to walk every aisle of the grocery store. And the mall is end to end both levels at least twice.

    Why would it not count? Location doesn't matter, you're still walking.

    Depends on your goals. As a high intensity cardio session, probably not. As energy expenditure for the sake of a caloric deficit, then yes, it still counts.

    When my DD was born, I couldn't bring her in for 3 months. So I walked the mall several times around to get my cardio in.
